Pain in the thigh joint
I have been having this thigh joint pain on the left leg since last few weeks. Ten days before the pain was very severe, such that when I lie down to sleep,the whole of left leg was troubling. So I went to a physio therapist and had 4-5 sittings of heat therapy and ultrasound therapy and the pain got minimised and I am able to sleep now. Also took an x-ray of lateral view of the pelvic /hip bone location and it is normal, except for minimal osteoporosis which is normal for 60+ age.
However, I am not able to fold my left leg even on sofa ..also not able to sit in Sukhasan on the floor.
Please revert on how do I address this. I do not have any medical condition as of now.
Regards
Uma
