I have a burning type pain on the outside of my lower leg, not a skin burn pain, but like a muscle running down the outside of my leg pain.

Get sworse on the bike when I apply power , but feels ok on the run and swim. Seems to get worse if sit around stationary for a hour or so

Any ideas or am I just a whimp(please dont answer that last part please)

It Band run that low?

Burning pain is most likely neuropathic.  Is there any numbness?

I have something similar going on, except I don't notice it when training (maybe I'm distracted because I'm sucking wind during a workout!).  The pain is on the outside of my left calf, and comes and goes when I'm sitting or laying down.  It's kind of a throbbing. 

No swelling, so I'm not sure what to think about it.  The IT band stops at the knee, so I know it's not that.

If you find anything, please let me know!

probably one of the calf muscles is upset.  The peroneal nerve runs behind the proximal fibula and near the peroneal muscles.  I'd try some simple stretching and massage first.

I have been stretching it three times a day, and that has helped alot, you should be a Doctor!

Good luck in IMFL.
