hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
As you have issue with the thigh and leg muscles I think this may be connected to the lumbar spine pinch nerve.
As many a times the symptoms of lumbar spine disc degenerative changes start with small symptoms like itching, burning, tingling, pulling pain etc.
With simple physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain can be reduced. Exercise in later stages will help improve the coordination between the muscle groups
As muscle has an abnormal contraction and pain it may be totally due to nerve pathology and needs physical therapy.
