Suggest Medication For Meralgia Paesthetica
Last month I was diagnosed with meralgia paresthetica , my symptoms are outer leg pain on the right leg. For the past 2 days I have been experiencing throbbing pain on the outer calf of the left leg as well as outer thigh pain on that side.. I did some research online and couldn t find any info on MP affecting both legs at the same time.. I am also feeling lower back pain for past 2 days. Just need to know if MP affect both sides in some patients. Thank you

Hi
Thanks for writing youe query
It's highly uncommon to have meralgia paresthetica on both sides,at least i have never seen it in my practice.As far medicine is concern you may have pregablin/gabapentin ,since these are prescription only drug please talk to your local doctor.
Take care
