pain in groin/thigh

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that my inner thigh groin muscle was sore. It was not a sudden pain, but just slowly started to hurt throughout the course of the day. That morning I had used my treadmill (which I use daily) but decided to add more incline and speed that particular morning. So I thought maybe I had overused it. I stayed off my treadmill for the next 2 days, and decided on the 3rd, I would try to use it. For the next 5 days I was able to use it, however with no incline, and light jogging as opposed to running. It hurt after, but not intolerable. Then the next day I used it and was not able to even stay on, it hurt so badly. So I decided I just had to let it rest if it were to get better. I have not used the treadmill for a week now, and it seems like it's getting worse not better. The pain has moved to my upper front thigh now as well. I was wondering if it moved there due to me using differnt muscles in my legs.
I have a history of sciatica, but don't feel that that is the issue. However, when the pain started to move, I got nervous it was.
The pain is sharp, and can cause me to lose balance.
It feels like an electric shock at times.
Any ideas? I'm sick of sitting on my sensored!
