((Idealist)) that sounds terrible. Curious' link is very interesting though because it might be an answer to the sometimes strange burning pain I get in one of my legs.
From her link:
Quote:
A painful, burning sensation on the outer side of the thigh may mean that one of the large sensory nerves (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) to your legs is being compressed. This condition is known as meralgia paresthetica (me-ral'-gee-a par-es-thet'-i-ka).
Signs and Symptoms
* Pain on the outer side of the thigh, occasionally extending to the outer side of the knee
* A burning sensation, tingling, or numbness in the same area
* Occasionally, aching in the groin area or pain spreading across the buttocks
* Usually only on one side of the body
* Usually more sensitive to light touch than to firm pressure

Burning sensation is absolutely right on for me. The strangest pain.
Most definitely I would ask your doctor about it.
Makes me think about the topic of addiction to painkillers. Well, I definitely have an addiction to relief from pain!!!
