Thigh pain
Im 21 and going on a trip tomorrow but my problem is getting worse. Yesterday my thigh hurt (mostly at the joint) and I've had to limp or lean on walls to get around. Ive tried taking aleve and hot baths to help but they do little. It's gotten worse today, when I noticed in my 2nd bath that my leg looks a little swollen. The skin is cool, but could be from our cold house. Now i cant even sit on a chair without my thigh hurting. I can barely go up stairs or lay down comfortably.
