Pain in outer thighs

[JeCa2224]

This really is a 'medical issue' per se....I recently (a few months ago) got a office job where I sit behind a desk for 9 hours a day. For about a month now, I have been having moderate pains in my outer thighs and they are tender to the touch (more so the left thigh). I started stretching daily and it hasn't helped much. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions as to what this is and how to get rid of it???? :shrug:

Are you a fatty??

I mean if you're like 700 pounds and your squeezing it into an office chair.. no wonder your outer thighs hurt..

I was going to ask that as well... in a much nicer way of course... but along those lines.

Try changing your lumbar support, could be sciatica

Look up foam rolling for self-myofacial release. Also start stretching hips, i.e. IT Band, Hip Flexors, and Hip Rotator muscles.

Start getting up more often during the day. Exercise regularly. Eat healthier.
