Suggest treatment for severe burning and pain on thigh

Posted on Mon, 11 May 2015

Question: Last night I was awakened with severe burning and pain on the inside of my right thigh. I got up and walked around in great pain, and after about two minutes it subsided and went away. I went back to bed and after about an hour I woke up again with the exact same symptoms in the other thigh! It also went away after two minutes, and I haven't had it all day.
