Is Pinched Nerve Associated With Itches & Numbness In Thigh?

I am having a combination of things going on in my left thigh along the side and in other spots. It pains, burns, and itches. There is also numbness. It occurs when I m sitting, standing, and laying down. I remember a mild case of this while carrying my last child. I was told then it was a pinched nerve.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.

Possibility of compression of nerve root in spine, leading to tinglling ,numbness sensation in your thigh.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
I advise my patient’s analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin, you can consult to your treating doctor and do required investigation.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
