A 13-year-old overweight boy has pain in the upper part of his left thigh. What could be the cause?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be neuropathic pain, which refers to pain felt in the absence of external stimulation. You can consider treatments such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage. Alternatively, carbamazepine can also be used for treatment.
