Why Does My Thigh Hurt When I Lift It?
Pain when lifting the thigh may be caused by calcium deficiency, myofascialitis, piriformis syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and other reasons. Different causes require different treatments. It is recommended to visit a hospital first, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. The specific situations are analyzed as follows:
1. Calcium Deficiency: It is caused by insufficient calcium intake in the body and obstacles in calcium absorption, resulting in a reduction in calcium content in the body compared to normal standards. It is recommended to supplement calcium under the guidance of a doctor and consume more calcium-rich foods, such as milk and pork ribs.
2. Myofascialitis: It is a common painful disease mainly caused by non-specific inflammatory changes in muscles and fascia due to trauma, strain, cold exposure, and other reasons. Generally, rest is required, and drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor is adopted, such as Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets, Meloxicam Tablets, and Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules.
3. Piriformis Syndrome: It is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the leg, and patients may experience pain in the hips and radiating pain in the lower limbs. In the early stages of the disease, it is recommended to take Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets, Meloxicam Tablets, and Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, physical therapy can be combined. If the above methods are ineffective, surgical exploration is required.
4. Rheumatoid Arthritis: It is a common clinical manifestation of rheumatic fever, mainly affecting large joints, and may present as migratory and multiple large joint arthritis. It is recommended to take Amoxicillin Capsules, Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules, and Prednisone Acetate Tablets under the guidance of a doctor. Besides the above reasons, femoral head necrosis can also cause this symptom. If symptoms persist without relief, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
