Upper thigh pains?

For about a year now, I have been experiencing this weird pain in my upper right thigh, which I can only describe as an electric shock type pain. It happens in the same spot every time, will occur at any time and is painful enough that it will stop me in my tracks. My doctor told me that sometimes if wearing tight pants it will press on a nerve, but it happens anytime, regardless of what clothing I'm wearing or what I'm doing. Is there anything else it could be? There is no discoloration on the skin where I feel it, and the pain is very brief but intense. Thanks for any ideas!

You may want to check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatica. The sciatic nerve when irritated can cause a variety of pain in the buttocks, legs and feet. The sciatic nerve runs through the hip joint and problems with it can be caused by a number of different things including alignment issues with the spine.
Reply:I have no idea what could be causing this but i bet an acupuncturist would know. They have to know all about the nerve endings and such. It's worth going and talking to one.
