Leg muscle pain !! Hamstring injury ??

Post by the-monk » April 29, 2021, 2:50 pm

Muscle pain right thigh .... Hamstring injury ?? Since the beginning of the week I have been experiencing pain in my right leg, more precisely in the front of the right thigh down to the ankle. It got worse day by day, I took Ibuprofen 400 mg, then Norgesic and now Nacoxib 90 mg without much success in killing the pain.  I believe that in the case of a hamstring injury the pain would be at the back of the leg. Anyway i need to see a professional, i would prefer a walk-in clinic not wanting to wait in a crowded room at the hospital. Any suggestions for clinics, medications ??
Thanks all. Stay safe.

No... Never had backpain before.. Nothing out of the ordinary lately. Until the beginning of this week i used to walk about 60-90 min daily. My first reaction was that of a pinched nerve.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks DuiDui 49. Same old shoes; a pair of 2 year old sneakers very comfortable. A 20 min walk before breakfast and a 60-75 min afternoon walk.

Consider this:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con ... 20symptoms.

Go see this doctor in his Clinic across the street from the Army Hospital:

Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.

Sounds like sciatica which is inflammation of the sciatic nerve in the lower back.
Pain can go through the thigh and down the leg to the feet.
It usually resolves itself within a couple of weeks.
If it persists and you want an appointment, not queues, then maybe you should contact the Bangkok Hospital.
There was also a physio just off Phosi road... park at the top end of the Charoensri Palace Hotel, near Oscar's, and go right out of the car park into the small soi. His clinic was about 20 metres on the right... it opens at 5pm and the guy speaks English.
Very difficult to park on the soi before 6pm so best to park in the hotel car park.
This was a couple of years ago so don't know if he,s still there.
If I can find his phone number I,ll let you know.
It was by appointment,no queues.
Just when I thought our chance had passed,you go and save the best for last.

Sounds like .....

Looks like ......

Why would you go to a random social media forum to get a "diagnosis", and an appraisal of your self-medication?

There are a couple of recommendations about where to see a professional.

Thai doctors really aren't that bad.

Good leads from SFG on this but zid may be more on the ball based on the minimal info provided.

Sounds like...

Looks like...

jackspratt has insurance and is a bit of a whippersnapper compared with the OP.

Found the phone number of the guy just off Phosi road..... 0866394474
5pm to 8pm and I think maybe 9am to midday at weekends also.
Give him a call to make an appointment.... that is if he's still there... a couple of years ago since I went.
