hi i advise you that decrease your weight and go for daily exercise,avoid continues sitting in one position & not for hours...sitting only for sometimes & than go for a small walk and than sit for the work..always do the same as above .pain in thigh may be referral from lumbosacral joint(lower back) & you say as above that pain only for sometime & 20-30% so that is not very harmful .you don't need any medication only change your lifestyle....thanks
