Might be pinching of nerve, please consult doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Your numbness in the thigh might be due to a nerve related problem that usually involves the skin in outer portion of the upper thigh. In clinical terms it is known as Meralgia paraesthetica which is a nerve entrapment syndrome of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.

The cause for such a symptoms can be compression or pinching of the nerve any where along its course from the spinal cord to the thigh.

It is important that you get examined clinically by a doctor and confirm your condition. If confirmed, treatment is available and varies with the severity of the condition. Many people feel better with little rest and physical therapy. Some might need medications including steroid injections and neurogenic pain reliever and this is decided only after clinical evaluation.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
