Upper front thigh leg pain?

I’m 59 male, I have been having sharp stinging burning pain, itching and sometimes numbness in my upper front left thigh on the outside part of the leg. My doctor thought it was due to a compressed nerve in the stomach area near the waistline. He described it as lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome, but I don’t think that is the problem. I get it a lot when I am standing mostly or just plain walking.
