Strange at times only my right leg and foot uindergoes a burning
sensation. (I took
an aspirin this morning) I feel a strange sensation in my groin when I
need to urinate
and defecate. This occurs after I've drunk water. I've tried drinking
more water because I've been dehydrated.

If the pain occurs at rest, it's not going to be intermittent claudication.
That condition is a dull aching cramp, most frequently in the calf,
sometimes in the thigh or butt, and occurs when those muscle groups are
excercised.
