<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.In 2005 I had a liver biopsy, which showed stage 1 liver disease Hep C, in March 2013 I had another liver biopsy, which showed I was at stage 2. Last Sunday, out of the blue, my thigh muscles both ached. A couple hrs later my hip joints ached, as well. The next a.m. my right leg hip were fine, but it felt and still does like my left groin muscle was pulled! I can barely walk, and getting my left sock on in the a.m. is impossible, due to the pain. I live a rather sedentary lifestyle, so I know I didn t stretch tear my groin, but am wondering if my liver disease could be causing this problem? It s been 5 days now it s killing me! On Tuesday, I thought it was getting better, but when I awoke on Wednesday a.m. it was worse still is. Any thoughts or ideas? Thank you!  <response>: Hepatitis c have nothing to do with your thigh pain yet there are 2 possibility no 1 is dysfunction in your L12 vertebrae caused by spondylosis or disc or even simple cold no2 is that you are developing hip osteoarthritis try simple sustained stretch to your hip flexors for 1 min if pain improves it is a hip conditionals try walking for 5 min while leaning forwards if pain improves then it is a hip condition but if worsened then it is a lumber problem do A simple X-ray to confirm Good Luck
