Painful symptoms in the muscles of the outer thigh require different treatment options depending on the cause of the symptoms. If the condition is due to impaired blood circulation in the local muscles, fascia and other soft tissues of the thigh, or if inflammation occurs due to local strain, the blood circulation in the leg can be improved by elevating the leg above the heart. You can apply topical blood-activating and pain-relieving creams or red or white ointments to promote circulation and relieve pain. Oral intake of blood circulation capsule or blood circulation pain relief capsule, together with appropriate massage treatment or acupuncture treatment, can quickly improve the pain symptoms. If the pain is caused by a herniated lumbar disc or pear-shaped muscle syndrome, which stimulates the sciatic nerve, it is best to rest in bed for two weeks. Apply topical Tongluo pain relief cream to the lumbar area or hip, and take oral medications such as Jinlong pill, horse chestnut seed extract, and ibuprofen. If there is no obvious effect after 3 days of treatment, the diagnosis should be confirmed and then treated.
