Pain in the meridians of the outer thighs may be caused by cold or overexertion that leads to blockage of the meridians and poor blood circulation, resulting in symptoms. Patients should mainly pay attention to local warmth and rest, and can use hot towels to apply hot compresses, or massage with energizing oil or safflower oil to unblock the meridians and relieve pain. You can also take some oral Chinese medicine to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, or use some blood circulation and pain capsules, etc., under the guidance of a doctor to relieve pain. It is possible that the symptoms are caused by a herniated lumbar disc pressing on the sciatic nerve, which requires an MRI examination to clarify the diagnosis. A herniated lumbar disc can be slowly recovered by traction, acupuncture, or other physical therapy of the lumbar spine, so you can pay more attention to maintenance, do not bend over and bear weight, and do not sleep on a bed that is too soft to avoid aggravation.
