What Causes Tingling Sensation Radiating From The Left Hip Towards The Right Buttock?
I had a pain in my hip suddenly that felt like bursitis. Over a couple of days, that pain subsided and now I am left with a tingling on the skin over my hip. It sometimes radiates to the top of my right buttock. There is no discoloration, but when you run your hand or clothes over it, it feels like a mild sunburn. What could this be? Thank you

Dear patient
you may be having meralgia paeresthetica. In this condition there is compression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh at groin. this leads to tingling and numbness in anterolateral aspect of upper thigh. Confirmation of diagnosis can be done by nerve conduction studies of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh. please get it done from physiotherapy centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to consult orthopaedic surgeon with report.
