what causes burning pain to deep palpation of legs?

I have burning pain to pressure to my outer thighs below the greater trochanter area, and to my lower legs, inner aspect, about 4 inches below my knee joint.  Sleeping on my side is almost impossible since the pressure of one lower leg on the other (even with pillow between knees) causes the deep, burning pain.  Steroid injections haven't been very helpful.

Steroid injections don't treat the cause, it's just the symptoms they possibly can help with- has your doctor given you any indication on what they think the cause is or have they decided to just go with pain relief for treatment?

PCP thinks probably bursitis but anti-inflammatories don't really help. Steroid injections gave some relief at hips but not below knees.
