Brief Answer: Proceed to investigate the cause & get treated. Detailed Answer: XXXXX Thanks for the query. The symptoms you have, without any out word signs aught to be disturbing. I appreciate your concern& your eagerness to know the cause, in spite of natural tendency to neglect, till something visible happens. As you don't seem to have similar complaint else where in body, I feel you may be having singular nerve dysfunction-involving Femoral nerve, the nerve giving sensory supply to inner thigh & front of the leg(other side of calf). This gives you a bruised sensation, burning /shock like feeling in inner thigh. The cause may be- - Pressure/compression on nerve/ pinched nerve( wrong body posture, tumor). -Systemic disease like diabetes which leads to neuropathy. Long standing sensory loss may lead the condition to progress, resulting in numbness/lack of sensations/ unnoticed injuries, making life miserable. To treat this, I would advice you to go ahead & get yourself examined /investigated and treated in time. You should visit your your physician soon for- - Detailed physical examination. This will be followed by - - Investigations as per need, done to judge functioning of nerve & muscles-like, - Nerve conduction test, - Electromyography, - MRI for detecting mass/tumor/ boney deformity if any. In short, I hope, you have gathered that-the nature has signaled you about nerve problem by minor complaints, now it's up to you to pick up the opportunity & prevent further damage. Hope, this satisfies you. Any further query is welcome. Thanks.
