Thigh-area pain twinges

I'm experiencing intermittent pains in the mid-thigh area of the right leg.
My doctor examined me this week (during a time of no pain) and suggested
that nerve pressure could be the cause.  I've had two MRIs in the past 5
years (for other reasons).  One was normal, the other (2years ago) showed a
compressed neck vertebrae which caused tingling in my left arm.  Other than
waiting to see if this situation gets worse, should I be overly concerned
and taking further actions?
