Hi,
The outer thigh pain can be due to improper stretching before exercise. What you should do is warm the area and then stretch the muscles. The muscles in that area are the gluteus which are strong powerful muscles. If they are not stretched, the pain is excruciating. If stretching does not help, then I suggest that you consult a orthopedician. I hope this helps you.
