Topics:Burning and pulling in left thigh

It originally started several months ago as an itching sensation in my left front thigh. It is now a burning and pulling sensation especially when I walk. It is getting worse. It is in about an inch area. What can be causing this? My activity level has not changed. I am 49 and I don't do any serious exercise but I do a lot of walking.

I don't really know. Usually a burning type of pain indicates some kind of inflammation. If it's bothering you that much, you really should check with your doctor.
