Posted , 2 users are following.

My left leg started hurting suddenly. Right above the knee the thigh is so painful it feels ripped or fractured. I have the worst limp and it is causing pain in my groin also. I was doing fabulous I had my life back! If i move wrong or first thing in the morning i'm unable to walk! What could this be?

    see a physician to diagnose the injury. It sounds like a groin tear or the ligament that wraps around the hip to the knee called Iliotibial band . Major trauma to the area can be any number of issues causing pain and effect range of motion.
