What is Thigh Pain?

Last Saturday, you spent the whole morning to paint the ceiling of the kitchen. Then in the afternoon, you played ball with your nephews. You would feel very good on Sunday, then you decided to clean the garage. You feel in great shape by doing these activities, but on Monday morning, your thigh muscles have tell you very clearly that they do not like to be treated that way. Unfortunately, they have only one way to communicate their displeasure: thigh pain.

Think about it, your thigh muscles you can not write a word you say: "I constantly overworked and leaves me a little rest! However, thigh pain is a clear message and precise. If you take the time to know what is happening inside the thigh muscle, it would be easy to understand why thigh pain is so bad. After the thigh muscles pushed to its limit, the thigh muscle fibers begin to tear. Thigh muscles that are greatly overworked may have hundreds of small tears.
Burnout is not the only cause thigh muscle pain. If your thigh muscles hurt all times you might suffer from what doctors call fibromyalgia. This simply means pain in the fibrous muscle tissue. Fibromyalgia can be so painful that you would get a good night's sleep.

Some doctors believe that fibromyalgia is triggered by thigh muscle stress, injury or illness. Others believe that a sedentary lifestyle and muscle tension causes play an important role. "The muscles are moving," said Paul Davidson, doctor, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and author of Chronic Muscle Pain Syndrome. When locked, especially when you're sitting at your desk all day, for example. They may tend to become quite painful. Then it triggers a vicious circle: the thigh pain interferes with your sleep, you awaken tired, stiff and sore. The movement becomes difficult, so your thigh muscles remain tense and painful.
"You know if you have fibromyalgia if you apply pressure to your thigh," says Dr. Davidson . Also suspect a case of fibromyalgia if you have a generalized pain that drags on for more than three months, especially if you're late forties or older. In addition, widespread thigh pain could occur as the result of a virus like the flu or a reaction to a diuretic or a drug against hypertension. If the pain gets worse, it could indicate a thyroid problem or arthritis.
