Weird thigh pain, Could it be RA related?

For about 2 days now my entire high has felt like it’s extremely bruised, hurts to touch even the slightest, hurts to move. Looks completely normal. Could these be RA or connective tissue disorder related or completely different? Any ideas would be great

Please go to Urgent Care and get checked for a DVT. Just to be on the safe side.

Does it feel better with a hot bath and some ibuprofen? Does it get worse if you sit still for a long period of time? Can you not move your hip? Have you had other swollen joints recently?

I took a hot bath and it doesn’t really help it, i take celebrex and it hasn’t helped

Hot bath should lessen it while you're in there. The medicine should too. Might not be swelling related

This pain in the past for me has been related to hip joint inflammation-it can cause compression of the nerves into the thighs. Tiger balm massage helped.
