Brief Answer:
Nerve compression. Needs warm packs, loose clothes
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
This could be Meralgia paraesthetica. Here a nerve gets compressed just below the belt line at the hips.
Avoid wearing tight clothes, tight belts. Apply warm packs to the painful regions. Get tested for Diabetes.
You can take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month. Do hip strengthening exercises.
Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights.
I hope I have answered your query.
