Do I need to see my doctor?
Not normally. If you follow the right advice and take the right medication, your thigh problem should improve within the next six weeks.
If you experience any of the following, you should speak to your doctor:
- Pain that is getting worse and worse.
- Pain you would describe as pins and needles, sharp, hot or burning pain usually in the back of the thigh that does not improve after one week.
- Difficulty putting weight on your leg.
- Your thigh problem has not improved within six weeks.
