[Sundae]

I have a pain at the top of my right thigh. It's on the outside of the thigh, the part that continues round from the butt.
It started last week and I thought I'd burned myself sitting too close to the outside heater when we sat in the yard with HM's brother (a smoker).

It was an occasional sharp pain but the most significant characteristic was the burning sensation of my skin when I lay in bed.

This evening it has been worse rather than better. It is sharp enough to make me cry out when I move, and I can feel (albeit less intensely) as I am sitting here on the edge of the bed. It is seriously painful and feels like whenever I use the muscle it is ripping or tearing. Any use is painful, even if unrelated, like sneezing or earlier when I was on the loo.

And yet bizzarely it hasn't hurt once during exercise and tonight it is at its worst when I am having a rest day.

It's scaring me a little. I am thinking of going to the doctors about it.
