have upper leg pains? It feels like I've done a load of squats even pushing on my thigh muscles hurts. I've just gotten over a cold too so don't know if it's that but it's blooming sore walking up and down the stairs.

Hi Lovisa,

I quite often get upper leg pain, and just as you've described. I find heat helps - a hot water bottle or heat pack. Also the heat rubs that you can buy. I hope you get some ease soon, but if it continues see your GP. x

It could be lack of movement after getting over your cold. If it continues I would have a word with your Gp I have a lower spine problem and have suffered with that type of pain for many years. We moved to a bungalow 4 years ago because I could no longer climb steps. So please don't let it linger and suffer. I hope it eases up for you soon xx

I too feel like this some days.I cant squat and so I have a bad habit of leaning over too far and pulling those upper leg muscles at the back and below buttocks, they take days to get back to pain free..
