Lead weight

[Scabbadoodle]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has ever had an issue with their inner thigh. Over the past few days I've seamed to have lost the ability to move it without serious pain. It feels very different to a pull or a strain, almost like I'm dragging a lead weight around attached to my thigh.

Any thoughts??

It's possible the problem is in your lower back instead of your thigh. If you have a pinched nerve, that can cause shooting pains, tingling, numbness, and even paralysis of affected muscles.

I'd go see a doctor BEFORE you wait to see if it gets worse. Might be a herniated disk, or a blood clot, or something else entirely, but better to go now than regret not going later!

Hi I've been surfing for the past 5 years with on my left leg numbness heaviness tingling they only thing they told me is that I didn't have a stroke and they put me on gabapentin now it's been 5 years I'm on gabapentin the lowest dosage 300 mg twice a day and now it's not even working what kind of a doctor do you suggest I go to an orthopedic or neurologist appreciate some feedback

If the gabapentin no longer helps and the same problem is still there after all this time you need to go back to GP and ask to be referred for further investigation as you would not only like a diagnosis but also need help with the pain.

I have been trying to get a proper diagnosis they tell me I'm an anolomy I don't believe it I couldn't possibly be the only one that has this I feel that it has something to do with my back when I went to the chiropractor half years ago he said I was told l1 and l2 is not aligned de generated so I'm thinking about going to an orthopedic doctor what do you think about that neurologist doesn't seem to be helping me

Could be a number of different things but my advice is to see a doctor. They know what there looking for. Let us know how things go x

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've called the dr this morning - and I can't get an appointment until mid august - let's hope it doesn't get any worse between now and then!
