What Causes Sharp Thigh Pain While Walking?

Why do I have a prick feeling in my right thigh while I am walking? It s occurs in the same spot each time, and it happens every once in a while, and it doesn t hurt much, it just causes me to wince a bit from it being so sudden and unpredictable, and it s more like a dull needle instead of a sharp one. And it s gets accompanied by mild headaches. Do you have any clue of what might be causing this?
