No swelling or redness on thigh.
No injury of the area.
I guess the veins in the area would be varicose veins. Never had any trouble before.
No hardness in the pain area.
I do have syattica(sp)

Brief Answer:
This seems to be spine related pain.
Detailed Answer:
If you have varicose veins there, some blood clot in the superficial veins can be the reason (this not a serious condition). However as there is no swelling, no redness and any hardness, this is less probable.
As you have sciattica, the pain may come from the nerve. Especially if it is located on the outer part of the thigh. You may perform simple test. Spine related pain should get less intense after hot bath and painkillers (ibuprofen). Please try it first.
For the diagnosis, you should consult orthopedist and consider spine MRI.
For veins thrombosis, Dopplers ultrasound should diagnose it.
