Maybe this will help, maybe it wont: I have tight tendons on the outside of my thighs, that cause a burning sensation and occasional shooting pains. For years I thought I was having sciatica or other problems, then my chiropractor diagnosed it and gave me stretches. The stretches helped, but the pain went away when my coach had me start foam rolling my quads and outer legs. He said not to roller the joints (hip or knee), just the muscle between the joints. Now I go weeks without rollering and experience no pain.
