Q: upper thigh pain

I have had pain in my upper left thigh on and off for 3 years now, but it's getting to be more regular now.  I sometimes go all day without pain, then some days it hurts a good part of the day.  Sometimes it is with activity, but sometimes it hurts more when I am sitting or laying in bed at night.  It is a sore, tightening feeling.  I don't feel any lumps, no redness, no swelling.  The only "injury" could have been over 3 years ago I had surgery on my right achilles tendon and I did some hopping on my left foot-I used a wheel chair, but did hop some.

The pain in my right thigh begins after I walk on a hard surface for a short period of time. After a short rest off of my feet, I am able to walk again for a short time before the pain begins again. What do you suggest I do?
