Symptoms are suggestive of meralgia paresthetica.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

Based on the symptoms, the most likely diagnosis is meralgia paresthetica. In this condition, a nerve that supplies to the skin over the thigh gets pinched. Symptoms usually resolve in a few weeks. For pain relief, you can take gabapentin capsules.
