What are some causes of sore thigh muscles?

Answer by  Otto (45)

Thigh muscle soreness can be caused by: taking stairs, walking, walking uphill or downhill, lifting objects, pushing objects, bicycling, doing crouching or squatting type motions, or even walking a dog that pulls. It's more likely to occur after doing an activity that you normally do not perform.

Often thigh muscles will get sore if you've walked around for a long while, or even used them a lot the previous day. It is also possible that during the middle of the night, they cramped up which would make them sore the next day.

If you were doing a new type of exercise in which you use your muscles in a different way than they are used to then would most likely be the reason. You should try massage therapy and put icy hot on your legs. The soreness should go away but if it doesn't, go see your doctor.
