I have been experiencing sharp stabbing pain in my left upper inner thigh. It started out as kind of random but now I can hardly walk. I thought maybe a hernia, but can't find any bulges, and I have no pain elsewhere. I am female, 53, healthy, I think, and active. I'm home, in pain, wondering, should I go to the ER?
