Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It could be due to any one of the following:

Meralgia paresthetica, which can result from pressure on the spinal nerve that controls thigh sensation. It may result from carrying heavy objects or excretion. Peripheral neuropathy, which could result from alcohol intake or increased blood glucose level in blood. Herpes virus if you are sexually active. Myositis, inflammation of the muscle and can be treated with anti-inflammatory gel as Voltaren (Diclofenac sodium). If the pain in upper left thigh accompanied with a bulge, then it could be due to an inguinal hernia.
