A member asked:

Inner thigh pain when walking comes and goes. makes it feel like my leg is giving way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Think your back: If you have some impingement at the spine in your lower back, it can cause referred pain. Have it checked out, especially if it makes your walking potentially unsteady.
