A member asked:

I have burning pain in thigh any ideas, what do you recommend?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back: It could be coming from your lumbar spine. My suggestion is to see a spine specialist and have a proper evaluation. You may also need an MRI. You don't have to have back pain to have a pinched nerve.
