Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in thighs. Well I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment. Doctor will need to touch and move your head, neck and arms. He or she will also ask you to move and perform certain movements. Doctor may order X-ray, Ct scan along with MRI. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, lidocaine injection, recommend physical therapy. Doctor may also recommend you certain stretching exercises and strengthening exercises. Doctor may also go for surgery in severe damage or may refer you to neurologist for nerve problem.  Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
