Lots of things: Thigh pain can come from back, hip, and knee problems. Trauma to the area, acute or chronic can do it. Less common are things like infection and tumors. If it is persistent, worsening, associated with other issues, see your primary doctor or an orthopaedic surgeon.

A few things: Check w/ md, in order of frequency:
1.Tight iliotibial (it) bands: learn some stretches from internet & do them when you're warmed up or seek physical therapy.
2.Trochanteric bursitis: might need othopedist and injection especially if thigh  hurts when you roll over on it. 
3:hip or low back arthritis causing "pinching" of cartilage or nerve.
4:bone pain from weakness, osteoporosis, over-training.

Question 8

what are the causes of thigh pain during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Enlarging ovaries: Your pain is likely due to the stretching capsule which occurs immediately before ovulation.    It's normal most of the time but when it goes to the thigh, it is due to radiation down the nerves that go both to the pelvis and to the anterior thigh.  Some people with this also have endometriosis.   Talk to your obgyn about this.

Question 9

why do my legs on the thighs turn spotty purple after i've been in the cold?

Accepted Answer

Purple skin: Blotches or spots of purple on the skin may occur in cold weather because the blood vessles constrict and the blood in the cold skin stagnates and turns darker in color.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

This may be: Hemosiderin deposition staining your skin from venous insufficiency. I can not confirm this however without seein a picture.
