Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The burning pain in the thigh is likely to be due to methylcobalamin deficiency or a minor nerve root irritation. This will not decrease with pain killers. Proper methylcobalamin supplements and gabapentin will help. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
