Has numbness in the inner, upper part of the thighs
1. Treat Pain
Changing positions or shifting posture may reduce immediate discomfort. For example, laying on the back, with feet on a chair and knees at a 90-degree angle, can sometimes be quite comfortable for back problems.
Apply a cold compress several times a day for no more than 20 minutes at a time.
If NSAIDs don't work, your doctor might prescribe a stronger pain medicine or medicines to relax the muscles (called muscle relaxants)
2. Have the Person Rest
Bed rest for a day or two may help, but no longer than that; it is important to become active again sooner rather than later.
The person should avoid activities such as lifting or pushing.
3. See a Health Care Provider
All slipped disks should be evaluated.
4. Follow Up
The health care provider may recommend muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory medications, injections of pain relievers, acupuncture, or physical therapy.
