Meralgia paresthetica is due to involvement of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh.You are already on medication for it.If you are having severe pain you can consult your doctor for some intravenous or intramuscular analgesics for immediate relief.Besides this you need to avoid wearing thight pants or undergarments as it increases the pain.Wear loose clothes.It will relieve your pain.
