Lower limb fatigue in the thigh is caused by inflammation, diseases, or other factors. The thigh contains a large amount of muscle and serves as a primary source of body strength. Thigh muscle fatigue is mainly due to long-term strain, prolonged running, extended squatting, and similar activities. It may also result from nerve compression, commonly seen in lumbar degenerative diseases, such as lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar hyperostosis, and lumbar spinal stenosis, which are more prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals.
