Suggest Treatment For Severe Upper Thigh Pain

I have pain in my upper outer thigh area. I have hit it on my bed post with a sharp corner and it stayed bruised for a few months. No pain, but then I hit it on my desk at work in the same spot and since then have been having sharp stabbing pains in that spot off and on. But when it does, it hurts really bad. Could an injury cause a blood clot?
