Were you a smoker? It sounds as though it is a circulation problem. Smoking causes athrosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries (the lining gradually narrows with plaque), which means your limbs don't get the oxygen they need. Perhaps your doctor should do a doppler study of that leg, although I imagine if you've complained about it to him/her, that has already been done.
Do you strain the muscles of that leg frequently, as in performing some action that stresses that muscle? I hope you find an answer; your doctor would be the one to ask.

i comprehend precisely what you're speaking approximately. Mine all started 6 years in the past whilst walking long distances (back and forth) whilst vacationing Las Vegas.... the burning have been given so undesirable that i could ought to take a seat and relax the leg consistently. besides, i will make a protracted tale short. whilst i could ***** concerning to the burning on my outer thighs, the docs could look at me like i grow to be loopy. till this January. nicely, evidently some (4th or 5th) lumbar nerve is in touch. They stated that the disk is somewhat compacted. suitable now they have me taking 500 mg. of Relafin each and every 12 hours and Vicodin as mandatory (I take it approximately each and every 2 to 3 evenings). issues are no longer below administration inspite of the indisputable fact that. My discomfort now travels down the part of my leg, around the suitable of my kneecap, down the exterior of the decrease leg, into the ankle and foot... purely the outer thigh and in specific situations back of the better leg burn. i return to be certain what could be performed quickly yet one situation is they're going to on no account get of venture to function on my back. i wish that your burning will only enhance rapidly.

Pain is unusual. Where the injury is; is almost never where it hurts. I had frozen shoulder, but the pain was in my arm, not my shoulder. Go see a doctor, when there is pain, something is hurting. Just got to figure out where.
Daily stretching and aerobics helps lower the pain.

Without seeing you, it's very hard to guess at what might be going on.
All I can safely say is...you should go see your Doctor. I'm sorry for your pain. Consider alternative therapies.
