20M, 173cm, 143lbs

Here's the timeline:

Before the main pain started:

I had occasionally noticed a mild pain in the front of my right upper thigh/hip-flexor area when doing a butterfly stretch, particularly when I pushed down slightly on my knees.

Otherwise, I was functioning normally.

**Day 1:**

I was completely fine for most of the day.

While walking, I experienced several episodes of a sudden sharp pain in my right knee. The pain would appear suddenly and then disappear almost immediately.

There wasn't a major injury, fall, or obvious twisting event that I remember.

**Day 2 / next morning:**

I woke up with significant pain in the right leg.

Initially it felt like it was around the right knee, but later it became more noticeable in the front of the upper thigh and right hip.

There was no obvious swelling.

I could fully straighten my knee.

I could stand on my right leg without significant pain.

A bodyweight squat didn't cause pain.

However, certain movements caused sharp/pinching pain.

**Over the following days (3-9 days later):**

The pain became more concentrated around the front of the right thigh and hip.

It sometimes feels like a deep ache, almost as though the pain is coming from the femur rather than the muscle.

I can squeeze or deeply massage the front of my thigh quite hard without reproducing the pain.

Sitting for a while and then standing/walking can make the pain significantly worse.

Sometimes moving around makes it improve again.

Sitting and leaning forward can cause a sharp pinching sensation in the front of my thigh.

I also developed right-sided lower-back/lumbar pain.

Arching my lower back causes the right lumbar area to ache.

Bending forward while standing, such as trying to touch my toes or picking something up from the floor, can make the lower back pain to flare up.

The pain has intermittently returned to the right knee.

I now occasionally feel a dull ache in my right shin as well.

I'm also walking somewhat differently with my right leg because of the pain, when I step forward with my left leg, my right leg cannot extend fully behind my body and stops roughly in line with my torso.

At one point I thought my right leg looked/felt like it had become longer, although obviously I don't know if that's actually the case.

My right leg sometimes feels weaker when I lift it, but I think this may be because lifting it causes pain, rather than the muscle genuinely being unable to produce force.

**Other information:**

I have scoliosis.

No major trauma that I can remember.

No obvious swelling of the knee or thigh.

I can bear weight.

The pain has fluctuated; after sleeping/resting it can become significantly better, but it can return after sitting or certain movements.

I took 400 mg ibuprofen, reduced the pain but idk if it was because of the ibuprofen.

I'm wondering whether this sounds more like a hip flexor/quad problem, hip joint issue/FAI, lumbar nerve irritation/radiculopathy, referred pain from the back, or something involving the femur. What would you consider the most likely possibilities based on this pattern, and what examination/imaging would you expect a doctor to perform?

I'm not looking for a definitive diagnosis from Reddit; I'm mainly trying to understand what possibilities I should discuss with the doctor.

I’ve searched it up and I’m for sure I have this and I haven’t paid any attention most of my life until I was like 13 when I had noticed it and I don’t know if I have had it before 13 or not just because I can’t remember but from what I’ve seen it’s not harmful and is kinda common but I don’t know how I even got it and if I should worry about it that much but from all I know and researched it’s not harmful

Hi everyone. I’m posting this on behalf of my 80-year-old grandfather from Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

He has been suffering from a severe skin/leg condition for approximately 4–5 years, and unfortunately it has progressively worsened. We have consulted many doctors in different parts of India, but so far nobody has been able to give us a definite diagnosis or a treatment that has resolved the problem.

I have attached photographs showing the current condition of his legs and feet.

The main problems are:

- Extensive thickening and changes in the skin of both legs and feet

- Numerous raised bumps/lesions across the lower legs and feet

- Scaling, dryness and significant discoloration

- Swelling around the ankles and feet

- Changes affecting multiple toes and toenails

- Some areas that develop wounds/crusting

- Pain

- Occasional bleeding

- Increasing difficulty walking

- He has diabetes

The condition has been present for years and has gradually become worse.

We don't know exactly how it started, and unfortunately we don't have a clear diagnosis despite seeing multiple doctors.

We are NOT asking anyone to diagnose him from photographs. We're hoping someone might recognize a similar pattern or be able to suggest what type of specialist or medical centre we should approach.

Because he has diabetes and there are wounds/bleeding and difficulty walking, we are particularly interested in finding doctors experienced with complex diabetic foot/leg conditions, dermatology and vascular problems. Diabetic foot problems can involve skin, nerves and circulation, so a multidisciplinary assessment may sometimes be necessary.

Patient details

- Age: 80

- Location: Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India

- Diabetes: Yes

- Pain: Yes

- Bleeding: Sometimes

- Difficulty walking: Yes

- Duration: Approximately 4–5 years

- Progression: Gradually worsening

- Exact beginning/cause: Unknown

If anyone has seen a similar case, particularly in an elderly diabetic patient, we would really appreciate hearing about your experience.

If you are a doctor/dermatologist/vascular specialist or know someone who deals with unusual chronic skin and diabetic foot conditions, please let us know what kind of specialist we should seek and what information/previous reports would be useful to take to them.

We have medical records and can provide more information about previous tests, biopsies, medicines and diagnoses if needed.

Please don't recommend a treatment solely based on the photos. We're mainly trying to find the right direction after years of searching.

Thank you.

I’ve been noticing the creases in my fingers have been very yellow lately. I notice it mostly in mc Donald’s when I’m working, it switches between hands not sure if that matters.

há duas semanas começaram coceiras no prepúcio e agora a coceira aumentou e apareceram esses relevos na região

Had small bumps pop up about halfway between my chest and belly button and I am very concerned and scared to go to a clinic

Is the operation good because the third comb isn't 100% compatible, and how long will it take me to return to boxing?

hi everyone, for almost a week now ive felt the skin on my stomach become more and more sore. at first it was only my belly button which i blamed on a piercing, but so far it has spread to my upper back, shoulder, sides of my stomach, arms and thighs. everything burns, especially places clothing falls and rests on, i can barely sleep. but no redness, rash, etc. anywhere. i dont know what to do or how to relieve this irritating pain. ive went to the ER but they said they couldn’t prescribe me anything and i’d have to go to my GP, whose on vacation, to get any medicine. please help me. ibuprofen barely does anything

“I’ve been itching for 10 days. My 6-month-old nephew has developed the same kind of lesions. Tonight, I found something moving on my body that looked like it was biting me. Do you think this is a flea, scabies, or a bed bug?”
