Shooting Pain On Left Outside Thigh Area That Starts At The Top And Shoots Down To Knee

Saw family doctor and an Ortho doc. I am having a shooting pain on left outside thigh area that starts at the top and shoots down to the top part of the knee, I notice it when I bend over to put on shoes, climb stairs, or if i m sitting on the floor adjusting myself. Is this a problem with the bursitis or is it a nerve problem? I have had this pain for over a month now.
