What Causes Pain In The Thigh While Crossing The Legs?

As discussed in details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for you query and an elucidate history.
The pain on the outer aspect of left thigh which stops at mid thigh, increased pain in cross legged position and inability to lay on left side since April indicates a neurological cause like some nerve compression.
This is most probably not the hip joint as even walking would have been painful.
I would advise you the following:
MRI of the lower spine.
An opinion of an Orthopedic and/or Neurologist/Neurosurgeon would be most appropriate to get the correct clinical diagnosis supported by the investigations they would ask for.
I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
