Suggest Non Surgical Treatment For Meralgia Paresthetica
Question: Is there a non surgical treatment for Meralgia Paresthetica. Though I haven't visited any doctor yet, I have all the symptoms. Right thigh has tingling sensation, numbness, pricking pain, feeling warm/cold.
Brief Answer:
Treatment is mostly non-surgical.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and agree with you that meralgia paresthetica is the most likely diagnosis.
The treatment for this condition is mostly medical. Medications used for symptom relief include pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.
In addiiton, direct pressure on the groin region should be avoided (by avoiding prolonged sitting, long drives, etc).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
