Topics:thigh pain at night

I have been experiencing pain - sometimes shooting, mostly aching - in my upper right thigh. Blood clots have been ruled out. I also have cramps occasionally in my right calf muscle. Any ideas what is causing this?

I have had very simular pains in my left leg first and then my right and in my back and thigh, it seems to move around but i cannot sleep at night because of the pain, the first diagnosis was Shingles but i didn't have a rash until 3 weeks later and even then it was tiny and on my foot, it lasted 3 months instead of the 6 weeks i was first told, i have had this 3 times now but have also been told that it may not be shingles, off to the the docs tonight (again) and will update

The breakdown of cartilage in the knee can lead to bony protrusions called spurs and considerable joint pain.
