A member asked:

Severe sporadic shooting pain in left thigh, wraps down from hip, across anterior thigh into medial thigh just above knee. possibly a blood clot?

Could be: venous problem, nerve problem, or infection, difficult to tell without more details and examination. You should see your doctor for accurate diagnosis, b/c treatment is different for each of these conditions.
