Hi, The way you are discribing your symptoms isn t enough to diagnose the condition but this kind of symptoms are seen in front of thigh in meralgia parasthetica, its not classically as described by u.people with meralgia tend to complain tingling/burning/pin prick/numbness etc. Sometimes in upper lumbar nerve root compression similar complain can be seen. There are other causes, but u need not worry about them. First go to neuro physician.if these symptoms are not of long duration or severe I think you will be prescribed some vitamins,pregabalins and some mild medications and with it you will see improvement.if not feel free to ask further queries. Till then don t worry, eat healthy, sleep well and stay fit.
