Hi,
Thigh pain may be caused by a minor muscle strain or contusion(physical activity),strained /pulled thigh muscles,tendinitis (inflammation of tendons due to overuse or injury),sciatica (compression, injury/ inflammation of the sciatic nerve),diabetic neuropathy.Since it recurs,get your blood sugar checked & x-ray thigh.

Brief Answer:
Painful thigh

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems that your pain in right thigh front is due to some local cause. In absence of physical examination,an ultra-sonography of the soft tissue of thigh in the affected area will throw more light on the underlying cause,if x-ray thigh turns normal and excludes any bony cause.
