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.
