Chiropractor Questions Muscle pain

I have a weird discomfort in my right leg. What could it be?

I have a very strange and weird discomfort in my right thigh. It feels like pressure inside of my muscle. It doesn't hurt more during any specific activity. What could be the cause of this strange pain?

Many reasons, it's hard to say without seeing you and making a physical exam. It could be from muscle spasm, circulatory problems, neuropathy, or even potassium deficiency.
It could range from a cyst to simple inflammation. It would be best to consult a chiropractor or your primary care physician about this.
The timing, duration of this issue, frequency of this issue are important to help you diagnose this problem. Perhaps try rolling on a foam roller to see if its just a knot in the muscle, and stretch it. If that doesn't help, i would get an evaluation from a Chiropractor, PT, or Orthopedist to investigate further in person. Hope i helped. Got you back! Dr. Todd Gewant- Chiropractor
In this situation it could be a sciatic nerve irritation, or a sciatic neuritis. In addition, it could be a muscle spasms from some activity done. At our office we would use our myopulse modatity to activate the muscle memory and repair the muscle fibers.
It could muscular or relating to circulation. It’s possible it can also be stemming from low back issues.
This pain could be caused from a misaligned low back and pelvis. Call your local Chiropractor for a visit to check it out.
Most likely sciatica.
You should have it looked at

I would check blood supply first!
The only way that anything works in your body is by the brain telling it how to work. The way that the brain communicates with each and every body part is by sending signals down through the spinal cord and then out the individual nerves that branch out from in between the individual vertebrae in the spine, Each nerve has what's known as a sensory and a motor distribution. The motor part is what that particular nerve supplies inside of you, for example, the eyes, heart, lungs, reproductive organs, etc. The sensory part is what is known as a dermatome, which is the part of the body is that same nerve responsible for giving feedback back to the brain about your environment (hot, cold, etc.). Sometimes people don't experience PAIN in their back, which would let them know that they have a problem in their back. Sometimes what they experience is that "weird" sensation in a specific drematomal distribution (area of the body). I believe that that is what you are experiencing. The pinching of the nerve in one or more of the nerves in your lower back is letting you know that there is a problem that needs rectifying. REAL Chiropractic is the detection of the misalignment in the spine to relieve pressure on nerve(s),\ to allow for "normal" communication between the brain and those particular body parts being negatively affected.
