[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compressed nerve - I have it too. My Ortho says its from weight gain during pregnancy. I was worried about a blood clot too -- had the sono and everything. Ortho says it won't get worse - but also wont get better. I have learned some pt to help alleviate it. I am a runner -- funny the running doesn't not make it better or worse, but certain exercises (esp lunges) just kill it. Cortisone shots may help - I just don't like them. Good Luck ! Here's the official google info : Meralgia paresthetica is a condition that can cause burning pain over the front and outside of the thigh. There is a nerve that passes just over the brim of the pelvis and down the outside of the thigh. This nerve, called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, supplies the brain with information about sensation over the front and outside of the thigh. What causes meralgia paresthetica?: Meralgia paresthetica is the condition that is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. There can be a number of causes to this problem, but it is frequently seen in pregnancy, individuals who suddenly gain weight, patients who wear tight clothing or belts, and some other conditions. [/quote] Great. Probably attributable to weight gain. Lovely.[/quote]
