upper leg pain


Q:
Age: 53   Sex: F   Concern: upper leg pain  

I experience upper leg pain when I sleep at night.

The pain is alleviated if I use an ace bandage on the upper leg for a few hours.

Why is this?

What could be the cause of this pain?

A:
Epidural injection is a reasonable treatment option to relieve pain. In experienced hands, it is quite safe.
