Topical medicine: If you don't have any warning signs like redness or swelling in the area or pain radiating to nearby parts of the body, you can use topical pain medicine like Ben-Gay, or Aspercreme, or try ice or heat. If it is the top of your thigh, that can sometimes be caused by weight gain and sitting for long periods of time, called meralgia paresthetica.

See doctor: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. No need to feel silly, providing healthcare is what doctors are there for.
