Strange sensation/pain in upper outer thigh

About a week ago I was awaken with pain in my upper outer thigh. Ever since then I have had tenderness to touch in that area. I did not hit or bang it and have not done any exercise that could cause it. Any ideas on what it may be?

When I was in the Army, I used to get trochantor bursitis after EVERY single ruck march...we "marched" 10 kilometers carrying 55 lbs. Was nasty on my hips. I remember it being in a similar area. I would go to my PCP, get a round of Prednisone and, usually, a mild pain medication and within a few days, I would be good as new. My hips still act funny sometimes but I mostly think it's related to my gait due to my knees. Doesn't feel the same as bursitis.

Anyhow, it sucks but I'd definitely give your doc a call since it's been a week already and it hasn't gone away. In the mean time, while waiting for an appointment, maybe take an OTC anti-inflammatory like Aleve or Advil and use an ice pack.

(((HUGS))) you feel better soon!

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
