Can my thigh problem cause trouble anywhere else?

You may feel some pain in the muscles around your hip, knee or calf. This should improve as your thigh problem gets better.

Occasionally, problems felt in your thigh can be due to a back problem; even though you do not feel pain in your back. People with this sort of problem often describe the pain as pins and needles, sharp, hot or burning pain, usually in the back of the thigh.

If you experience these for longer than one week, you should speak to your doctor.
