I've had a strange pain very intermittently in my left thigh (sort of side to back near the top but not actually right at the top of the femur) for months although I only feel it for a second or two at a time maybe three times a day.
It's a bit like the pain from a torn muscle, sort of an ache but not really, sort of burning but not really. Is that a shooting pain?
I saw the GP who did a few stretches to see if it was sciatica and it didn't seem to be but they gave me a few exercises to do anyway. They said they can't really think of any muscle groups there or what else it could be and come back in a couple of months if still there.
It's not at all severe or getting worse or really bothering me day to day but I do worry about it because I've sadly lost a couple of friends to cancer recently, and we are only in our 30s. I think a sarcoma would be extremely unlikely but it is on my mind.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
