It's important to have your thigh pain evaluated by an orthopedic specialist, especially since you had hip screws inserted a year ago. The pain could be related to the hardware, healing process, or other complications such as infection or irritation.

• Avoid putting excessive weight or strain on the affected leg until you see a doctor.
• Monitor for any signs of worsening pain, swelling, redness, fever, or inability to move the leg.
• Over-the-counter pain relief may help temporarily, but do not start any new medication without consulting your doctor.
• Schedule an appointment with your orthopedic surgeon or a specialist in musculoskeletal care as soon as possible for a thorough assessment and imaging if needed.

If you experience sudden severe pain, inability to move the leg, or signs of infection (fever, redness, warmth), seek emergency care immediately.
