When I had it, it actually shot through my lower back, into the front of my leg right next to my ho-ha and then down my inner and back of my thighs. It was so painful it woke me at night and I cried. DH didn't know what to do to help me. I ended up going to a chiropractor and he iced my lower back while I was on my stomach. He also put some super hot rub stuff on it. Anyway, not sure if something like that might help, but may be worth a try. OH yeah, and it hurt the worst in my hips (inner).

One other thing it could possibly be is tendonitis. Your patella runs down your outer leg form the hip and into the knee. This could cause knee pain or hip pain and can usually be fixed with nice long stretches through the outer leg. Just another though!
