What Causes Intense Pain In The Left Thigh While Sitting?

I am a 55 year old white male. I have a great deal of pain in me left thigh when in a resting position. I work on my feet as an auto service tech standing on concrete all day. Pain is not noticed when working; only when sitting or laying. Has been present for 2-3 years and xray show nothing. I have psoriatic arthritis and take methotrexate. It helps other joints but not leg pain.

it can be due to standing for a long time and over using left foot. exclude inguinal hernia in left side and thrombophlebitisit can be just myalgia. take hifenac p for 5days and apply analgesic ointment.since you have used methotrexate and it has helped other joints it may help your thigh. it may take some time.take some rest apply crape bandage on thigh.
