What Is The Cause Of Pain And Numbness Above My Knee?

Hi, I have a current diagnosis of undifferentiated connective tissue disorder (and Hashi's) and now have a dent in my left thigh about 4 inched above my knee. The area just above my knee and on the outside is one of my areas of pain and there is numbness. What should I be asking my new rheumatologist to investigate?
