Most people will hate me for saying this, but i only got this when i got fat. I had a period of time when i was eating a ton of fast food, not really exsersizing as much and when i got a lot of body fat around my waste and lower stomach was when i started getting the numbness in my upper thigh, and burning fire like sensation when i tweaked it. This almost imidiatly went away after i lost rhe weight and got back to my baseline weight, it was 100% because of the access body fat pushing on the nerve
@@brookenero6667 yeah because it's body fat pushing on the nerve, that's why a lot of ppl who are fit growing up, but then gain a bunch of weight later in life end up getting these issues
This condition always get me when sleeping! When it happens, I can’t live my leg, feels like nerve is being stripped with burning sensation, and tender to touch. The pain can last for several minutes. It’s very scary. Thankfully going to see a bone dr Monday!
I can't remember when was the last time I was able to have a goodnight sleep. Today, thanks yo your video, I have a name for this condition, Meralgia Paresthetica, I've been begging my doctor to find a solution but for whatever reason, he's just being ignoring me. 😢
Been suffering for 16 years ever since a no parking sign hit me in the 🦵🏾, saw this yesterday and did the exercises right away..OMG what a relief...Thank you for this video!
The part about "doing work being in this bent position for a long time." solved a big mystery for me and helped me a lot. I'm a photographer and yesterday I did a shoot mostly low to the ground and the whole night was a nightmare on my leg. Couldn't figure out what was different about the day til I watched this. Thanks!
Any exercises while standing? I just had rotator cuff surgery and I am unable to perform the exercises in this video. I would ever so grateful sir! Thank you...
These stretches have been a game changer for femoral nerve pain. I have gotten noticeable relief. I will be doing these stretches daily from now on, thanks so much for sharing!
I have a pinched femoral nerve due to endometriosis. I have been suffering with nerve pain for so many years. I will begin these exercises. I pray they bring relief.
Thank you. I’m two weeks post-op from an anterior hip replacement. I think they compressed this nerve during the retraction. I pray that they didn’t injure it in any other way. Some of the exercises you suggest conflict with the standard hip replacement guidance (no bridges, no lunges) but I will ease into them regardless. The burning numbness is my only remaining post-surgery pain. I am a very fit 60+ guy, so I think my muscle tone will hold the joint in place during the stretches.
my symptoms are also post-Op from recent anterior total hip replacement. would have been helpful to be informed by surgeon and doctor’s office of this potential, and the cause and remedy, as I’m hoping it lessens over time (I’m 6-wks Post-Op) as my range of motion and activity increases, but I will start these now but also have to balance against other ongoing THR healing. great video. super helpful. thank you!!
I guess I have meralgia, on both legs. It's been almost two months. I've been feeling the "needles sensation everytime I do leg press or squats at the gym. Then it comes the numbness, permanently, and sometimes the tingling. Fortunetly never have been in pain . But I need to stop with those exercises, otherwise it won't get better. 😒 I will try your tips. Thank you!
May 31. Thank you I think this is what I have. My doctor did provide the diagnosis. I thought it was kind of quick. I’m 127 lbs. 5’4” and active in yoga so this diagnosis surprised me. Will try these. Don’t mind paying a PT if this is what I have. Bless you a tons. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video! Started having so much pain in my left thigh/hip area( interesting that red light therapy on my back really triggered it). Immediately felt relief when I did these exercises❤
I bought a videogame system for the holidays and sat more than normal playing about 2 hours over two days. After that I have right thigh burning, tingling and aching even while in bed. Glad its not thrombosis.
Also have bilateral piraformis syndrome. Recovering from both last 1.5 years. Terrible. Was avid tennis player. Tried to stretch this issue away and just got worse and worse.
Fat guy looking to fix this, I lay in bed and I wake up from my thigh being hit by a blow torch. Tried some of these and it felt good! Will keep it up - thanks!
Mine is caused by a combination of weight gain, and long periods of sitting at a desk. I started waking up at night with shearing pain from this nerve. Hoping this will help until I get my health in check 🙏
I'm hoping this is what I got from laying in prone position in my loft for 3 hours last week 😬 .. lower thigh went completely numb at first. Now the numbness comes and goes throughout the day but not getting much better 😐 Will try this though, thanks 👌
Hello doctor This is Mani from India. Need your help. I have recently has a problem. While taking bath whole right getting burning sensation. I went to ortho doctor and neuro doctor. They suggested to take MRI scan. After they saw my scan report. I had issue with spinal disc space level bit less that's why nerve compression problem like L4 L5 C3 C4 problem. Still the same problem. I took tablet neuro medicine and calcium tablets. Nothing can be changed. Pls advise doctor and help me pls. I'm just 36yrs old.
Thank you. I started having the symptoms 3 yesterday ago while walking. When I get off my leg and rest it go away. It only happen if I walk alot and stand too long. I will do the exercises.
I have been suffering with this pain in my right thigh since I had a knee replacement 5 weeks ago on my left knee. It is so painful 😒. My thigh is tender to the touch, almost feels like a bad sun burn, it hurts for the bed sheets to even touch my leg. My leg tingles, burns, pins and needles, feeling, sometimes gets a warm sensation. I am taking physical therapy right now for my left knee that has recently been replaced, PT says this will help as I strengthen my legs. I see a chiropractor as well to help with a curviture in my lower back. My primary care physician will be doing myofacia release on me next week. I need relief. I can't sleep well, I am exhausted and in constant pain.
I decently got this problem. I had the flu with a lot of coughing. It made me sleep in a bent position with the top of the bed up for a few days. I think being in the bent position is what triggered it like you said. Will try these stretches in the morning
I went to a neurologist and she told me that some people are predisposed for this and there is nothing really you can do. She told me to take vitamin b1 to help the nerve. When I ask her if exercise would help she said that I would waist my time since it’s a nerv issue and massage or exercise won’t relieve it. Idk if she does note know what’s she is taking about ? She mentioned that a lot of people have the same complaints. To be honest the vitamin B1 did help by reducing the symptoms. Lately my symptoms came back and it’s worse lying down..did any exercise help alleviate the symptoms? Thanks
Here is the crazy thing ...I only developed this condition After I lost 60 pounds. I don't get it. I'm still working hard on my weight loss, but the pain and burning is overwhelming. I hope these exercises give me relief.
Have Spondylolisthesis and Meralgia Parasthetica. I fortunately have no pain but only loss of strength in my left knee. Any recommendations for exercises?
This was a great video! Thanks! I'll definitely try these exercises. Question: is Meralgia Paresthetica always in the right thigh? If so, should my right knee be the one to the mat and the left leg knee is up on the exercise where I lean my trunk forward over one knee (exercise toward the end). You did it as right knee up and left knee to the mat, so I wasn't sure. Please reply if you can. Thanks!
thankyou Dr. for your information, my numbness occurred after about 4 weeks of heavy strength training with my legs, i was going super deep in my squats with heavy weights and now i know that was the cause. i feel an uncomfortable sensation right in that spot where the nerve is when i squat really low. if i try squats with no weight added will the numbness and pain subside?
I have bilateral femoral pinched nerves. My symptoms are burning and weakness in my legs. I just had MRIs and saw a neurosurgeon. The doctor said its not from my back. Will the exercises help me?
This happens to me when I lay on my back. After about 15 minutes, the outside of my left thigh goes tingly numb. I’m not overweight and I don’t wear tight belts. I do have scoliosis but not sure if related. I can alleviate it by elevating my left leg with a pillow. Any ideas on what may be causing this? I have had it for years
Begining of Aug 2023 I felt numbness just standing while shopping this happen to me 2x Last week and today. Last week I got on the same day but sleeping numbness. I haven't gotten it sleeping since. I didn't know what I have til I stumble upon this video. Always the left Leg my non-domanint. Why do I get it? 0verweight?!? I'm not wearing anything restricted. It doesn't hurt just numbness and I feel a bit embarrass when shopping. I have to slap my thigh to get it to wake up.
I have heard it is weight gain too. I have gone from a dress size 8 to a size 10. I have definitely hurt my back at some point and now my whole body seems out of alignment with neck pain that may also relate to numbing in my arms hands and fingers.
Thanks!! This started very recently, and I have been very concerned. I have a new hip from 2022. But, I also have a terrible lumbar.😖 I’m getting physical therapy soon, truly hoping it is resolved!!!
I don't how but I get this while playing Soccer . Most of the yt video coment say they have it for very long time which scare me . Will I won't be able to play match again?😥
I had two hip replacements years ago anterior approach front of the hip. Not only is my thigh numb with no feelings but now both my thighs are so fatigued and weak all day it's giving me major anxiety nobody can seem to help me I had one physician that said you just have to live with it any idea what I have
Thank you so much for giving a clear and direct information about this pain And uncomfortably. This is happening with my leg after I give birth. And the pain Goes from 3 to 6 of the time.😭 And it doesn't go away it stays in 3 in a scale from 1 to 10.
Hi Paul, I don’t know if I have this or not but, just over 2 years ago (Jan ‘22) 2 weeks before my 50th birthday, l was slightly reclined on our sofa, I was sliding down a bit in the chair, all I did was bend my leg (I can’t remember which leg I bent, but my bad one now is my left leg) to push myself back up into my seat, I used my hands too to push myself backwards, I remember getting a pretty bad pain in my left leg, within the hour I couldn’t hardly use my leg at all, I couldn’t sit down, if lying flat and legs straight I couldn’t raise my leg off the bed or lift it into bed unaided. About 20 times a day I’d get the most excruciating cramp like pain in the front of my thigh, so bad I had to bite down on something and putting ice on it was the only thing that eased it. I had to use crutches to move. This lasted 3 weeks before I got some (yet very painful) mobility back. I’m now left with weird multiple sensations in my leg (to describe it all would make this already too long post ridiculously long). Most of the time my knee and thigh area feels tightly bound in bandages with numbness and pain and wired feelings like my leg/foot is wet when it isn’t 🤔. I have chronic low back pain 24/7 (for 30 years now) and about 10 years ago was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Leading up to this I’d been trying to get some mobility back by using a treadmill. My own physiotherapist doesn’t seem to know what the problem is or my G.P, I’d very much appreciate and welcome any ideas you may have. Your exercise where you’re on 1 knee where your other legs’ foot is on the floor would be impossible for me to do. Thank you so much for reading this long post and I really hope you, or someone with the same symptoms, sees my post …….. Jan (🇬🇧)
I've started see this issue aggressively after doing leg exercises on the gym, I'm not sure which leg exercises cause this. Really I'm not able to sleep after come back from gym on leg day. I will try your exercises, thanks
I haven’t had the burning, luckily, but numbness, and feels like there’s ants on the outside of my thigh, wearing under armor pants in the winter might be part of the cause just started this winter
Thank you for the informations! I started to feel a little numbness on my right thigh during and after my leg day. I did some heavy squats and double leg press. Is there a way to prevent this while keeping the intensity of my training?
Hey, I started jogging and stretching my hip flexors regularly as well as picking up certain routines for stregthening the muscles involved to fight my hollow back. I now started experiencing numbness in my outer thighs, especially after the one kneed lunge hip flexor stretch. Should I keep the routine up?
Mine started during 2nd trimester of pregnancy almost 3 yrs ago. PT helped initially and resolved but it came back and then didn't respond to the exercises I was doing. I'm going to try the massage gun and try to get sensation back.
Mine was also caused by pregnancies. Came and went through the first couple babies but came to stay after 3rd pregnancy. It's been 10 years and I'm so tired of numb, burning legs. I toss and turn all night. Maybe this will help.
@mrsalethajune The stretching really does help, you just have to stay consistent. For busy moms, it's hard but I find keeping a regimen around meal times helps me help myself. Good luck to you!
Omg! When i began the one where u lie on the tummy and twist/reach the leg back, my lower back over the hip suddenly began to cramp up. What do i do then??? Please. Thanks you!
I think this is what I am experiencing. I gained weight as well. I can’t go for walks and getting in and out of the car hurts. I’ll have to try these exercises and lose the weight.
Is it common/possible to have most of the trouble on the outside of the lower thigh towards the side of my knee. Most of my discomfort is not high in my thigh at all, rather its about half way down on the outside of my thigh to my knee. But it is burning, numbness, tingling. It isn't complete numb, if I pinch my skin where the numb feeling is it hurts I can feel that fine. Thanks
Same here, the worst pain is above my knees and lower parts of thighs, also got some pulling sensation/pain in my inner thighs. Diagnosis was marelgia paresthetica.
I’m a personal trainer and a Uber driver pretty fit but I started getting this after a year of driving Uber for long periods of time I thing it’s cuz I slouch to the right when I drive putting pressure on the right hip
I have this and it is absolutely horrible. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning it feels like I am being stabbed with a knife and it's excruciating. The numbness never goes away, but the waves of tingling and pins/needles kills me. Also, i cannot have my thigh massaged by any means. That absolutely feels so uncomfortable. Please help!
Hi - I see the point of stretching, but as the pain is caused by back nerves ( I don’t understand massaging the leg, because the pain is phantom isn’t it ? It’s pain that feels like is in your leg but it’s nerve problems in your back ) Please correct me if I’m wrong. I have Sciatica too.
No, the area of nerve irritation is at the top of the thigh. Some low back nerve compression issues can cause similar pain but that is not what we are discussing in this video
This started following a knee replacement but affects both thighs on the anterior side.. I'm now 8 weeks post op and hopefully these exercises will get me back on track.. Soon🙏🤞
I got this after. Cortisone injection in my hips. I was diagnosed by a neurologist. I literally couldn’t walk for a year until the cortisone wore off. It was horrible. I will never get another injection in any joint again.
Ive heard this and genuinely feel for you. Having said that I was just the opposite with a shoulder injury... a cortisone shot did the trick. My thoughts to this day are... cortisone works at some ratio... something like 50/50. Adding to that, the shot was administered by a person who was taking care of the Australian Olympic Volleyball team so I think they had a better idea than most about how and what exactly to do. I was very lucky.
I have this while pregnant! I’m not even showing yet and I’m very fit (bodybuilder at 17% body fat), so it’s definitely my uterus being rude as it grows. This is so frustrating 😢
I am suffering from same problem from last 2 years. going to physiotherapist but no relief. i have been to neurologist also. he has prescribed pregabalin 75 mg BD. and tryptomer 10 mg. what should i do
Tight belt man, thats what caused mine, I used to wear scrubs and would tighten my rope around em so tight it would cut off circulation when i sat down and would sometimes hurt, then Id go run and i'd always wonder why the front of my thighs would start going numb and burn, figured it was cutting off circulation didnt know it was from nerve dmg, that sux... now everytime i lay on my stomach it starts going numb
Mine started from my ultrasound preparation. Drank 1litre bout 2 hrs to the imagine . And not allowed to pee 2hrs before That put serious pressure on my bladder until I couldn't take it anymore. 😮 Before thhid I've had pain in my loin and scrotum
Most people will hate me for saying this, but i only got this when i got fat. I had a period of time when i was eating a ton of fast food, not really exsersizing as much and when i got a lot of body fat around my waste and lower stomach was when i started getting the numbness in my upper thigh, and burning fire like sensation when i tweaked it. This almost imidiatly went away after i lost rhe weight and got back to my baseline weight, it was 100% because of the access body fat pushing on the nerve
My dr said it was this condition mostly caused by weight gain
@@brookenero6667 yeah because it's body fat pushing on the nerve, that's why a lot of ppl who are fit growing up, but then gain a bunch of weight later in life end up getting these issues
Also come with pregnancy ,that’s how I got this….. I was a really thin mom .
Im not overweight and think I gave this. My tingling/numbness is around my quad.
I only developed it after losing 90 pounds so I’m looking forward to the stretches 😂😂
This condition always get me when sleeping! When it happens, I can’t live my leg, feels like nerve is being stripped with burning sensation, and tender to touch. The pain can last for several minutes. It’s very scary. Thankfully going to see a bone dr Monday!
Thank you Mr. Paul for this amazing solution.I have been doing these exercises for 3 days and already seeing improvement 👍.
You’re my hero. You described my exact issue as if you were in my brain and able to detail my problems with my leg.

It's reduced my pain
Can these stretches be modified for those of us who cannot get down on the floor, get on our knees AND cannot lie on our stomachs?
I also had a similar problem without taking any medicine just by doing exercises and you cured my problem completely by myself.

I don't how but I get this while playing Soccer . Most of the yt video coment say they have it for very long time which scare me . Will I won't be able to play match again?😥
I had two hip replacements years ago anterior approach front of the hip. Not only is my thigh numb with no feelings but now both my thighs are so fatigued and weak all day it's giving me major anxiety nobody can seem to help me I had one physician that said you just have to live with it any idea what I have
Thank you so much for giving a clear and direct information about this pain And uncomfortably. This is happening with my leg after I give birth. And the pain Goes from 3 to 6 of the time.😭 And it doesn't go away it stays in 3 in a scale from 1 to 10.
Hi Paul, I don’t know if I have this or not but, just over 2 years ago (Jan ‘22) 2 weeks before my 50th birthday, l was slightly reclined on our sofa, I was sliding down a bit in the chair, all I did was bend my leg (I can’t remember which leg I bent, but my bad one now is my left leg) to push myself back up into my seat, I used my hands too to push myself backwards, I remember getting a pretty bad pain in my left leg, within the hour I couldn’t hardly use my leg at all, I couldn’t sit down, if lying flat and legs straight I couldn’t raise my leg off the bed or lift it into bed unaided. About 20 times a day I’d get the most excruciating cramp like pain in the front of my thigh, so bad I had to bite down on something and putting ice on it was the only thing that eased it. I had to use crutches to move. This lasted 3 weeks before I got some (yet very painful) mobility back.
I’m now left with weird multiple sensations in my leg (to describe it all would make this already too long post ridiculously long). Most of the time my knee and thigh area feels tightly bound in bandages with numbness and pain and wired feelings like my leg/foot is wet when it isn’t 🤔. I have chronic low back pain 24/7 (for 30 years now) and about 10 years ago was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Leading up to this I’d been trying to get some mobility back by using a treadmill. My own physiotherapist doesn’t seem to know what the problem is or my G.P, I’d very much appreciate and welcome any ideas you may have. Your exercise where you’re on 1 knee where your other legs’ foot is on the floor would be impossible for me to do. Thank you so much for reading this long post and I really hope you, or someone with the same symptoms, sees my post …….. Jan (🇬🇧)
Do you have any modifications for a pregnancy, as I can’t lay on my stomach of course?
Thanks sir
I literally have had this for like z2 weeks I wore a belt to tight at a wedding all day now my thigh is so sensitive tonight and burning
I've started see this issue aggressively after doing leg exercises on the gym, I'm not sure which leg exercises cause this. Really I'm not able to sleep after come back from gym on leg day. I will try your exercises, thanks
Same here!
any update
I haven’t had the burning, luckily, but numbness, and feels like there’s ants on the outside of my thigh, wearing under armor pants in the winter might be part of the cause just started this winter
Thank you for the informations! I started to feel a little numbness on my right thigh during and after my leg day. I did some heavy squats and double leg press. Is there a way to prevent this while keeping the intensity of my training?
You probably want to avoid deep squats where the pinch occurs.
@@OrthoEvalPal Thank you for your reply!
I feel a pinch like a electrical shock. And is usually when I do squats. It doesn’t happen during other exercises.
Did it cure by doing these exercises ?
Same!! I first experienced it while doing squats and it comes back nightly
Same here!
Hey, I started jogging and stretching my hip flexors regularly as well as picking up certain routines for stregthening the muscles involved to fight my hollow back. I now started experiencing numbness in my outer thighs, especially after the one kneed lunge hip flexor stretch. Should I keep the routine up?
wouldnt be running
Mine started with over stretching, stop stretching…
Hi dr. I have the burning and numbness right back thigh it’s too much while driving.. should i do the same exercise ?
Mine started during 2nd trimester of pregnancy almost 3 yrs ago. PT helped initially and resolved but it came back and then didn't respond to the exercises I was doing. I'm going to try the massage gun and try to get sensation back.
Mine was also caused by pregnancies. Came and went through the first couple babies but came to stay after 3rd pregnancy. It's been 10 years and I'm so tired of numb, burning legs. I toss and turn all night. Maybe this will help.
@mrsalethajune The stretching really does help, you just have to stay consistent. For busy moms, it's hard but I find keeping a regimen around meal times helps me help myself. Good luck to you!
Omg! When i began the one where u lie on the tummy and twist/reach the leg back, my lower back over the hip suddenly began to cramp up. What do i do then??? Please. Thanks you!
I woke up woth a stabbing pain. I'm in my car 3 hours a day with a tight belt (part of my uniform) Any recommendations on how to make travel easier?
I've started doing hip thrusts at the gym and have noticed this- im wondering if the heavy weight from the bar is compressing the nerve
Very possible.
I think this is what I am experiencing. I gained weight as well. I can’t go for walks and getting in and out of the car hurts. I’ll have to try these exercises and lose the weight.
There could be other reasons why you have this pain so make sure you rule those out also ( hip arthritis or labral tear)
Immediate relief with the bridging!!
Glad to hear it!
Is it common/possible to have most of the trouble on the outside of the lower thigh towards the side of my knee. Most of my discomfort is not high in my thigh at all, rather its about half way down on the outside of my thigh to my knee. But it is burning, numbness, tingling. It isn't complete numb, if I pinch my skin where the numb feeling is it hurts I can feel that fine. Thanks
Exactly the same here.
Same here
Did you get a diagnosis?
Same here, the worst pain is above my knees and lower parts of thighs, also got some pulling sensation/pain in my inner thighs. Diagnosis was marelgia paresthetica.
Been going crazy thinking I was losing my mind or losing leg function lol. THANK YOU
I’m a personal trainer and a Uber driver pretty fit but I started getting this after a year of driving Uber for long periods of time I thing it’s cuz I slouch to the right when I drive putting pressure on the right hip
I have a psoas muscle that’s pinned, is this nerve often a part of the psoas problem?
I have this and it is absolutely horrible. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning it feels like I am being stabbed with a knife and it's excruciating. The numbness never goes away, but the waves of tingling and pins/needles kills me. Also, i cannot have my thigh massaged by any means. That absolutely feels so uncomfortable. Please help!
Hi - I see the point of stretching, but as the pain is caused by back nerves ( I don’t understand massaging the leg, because the pain is phantom isn’t it ? It’s pain that feels like is in your leg but it’s nerve problems in your back )
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I have Sciatica too.
No, the area of nerve irritation is at the top of the thigh. Some low back nerve compression issues can cause similar pain but that is not what we are discussing in this video
Mine itches really bad too is that normal
Is it alarming I can’t lay on my stomach without being in agony ?
If you have skin numbness along inner thigh as well as the tingling / burning on the outer side is it something other than MP ?
This started following a knee replacement but affects both thighs on the anterior side.. I'm now 8 weeks post op and hopefully these exercises will get me back on track.. Soon🙏🤞
I got this after. Cortisone injection in my hips. I was diagnosed by a neurologist. I literally couldn’t walk for a year until the cortisone wore off. It was horrible. I will never get another injection in any joint again.
Ive heard this and genuinely feel for you. Having said that I was just the opposite with a shoulder injury... a cortisone shot did the trick. My thoughts to this day are... cortisone works at some ratio... something like 50/50. Adding to that, the shot was administered by a person who was taking care of the Australian Olympic Volleyball team so I think they had a better idea than most about how and what exactly to do. I was very lucky.
I have this while pregnant! I’m not even showing yet and I’m very fit (bodybuilder at 17% body fat), so it’s definitely my uterus being rude as it grows. This is so frustrating 😢
Uhg yes I had this with my last pregnancy and it lasted a year after birth 😢 now with my 2nd it's back! Hopefully doing some stretching helps 🙏🏻
I am suffering from same problem from last 2 years. going to physiotherapist but no relief. i have been to neurologist also. he has prescribed pregabalin 75 mg BD. and tryptomer 10 mg. what should i do
Tight belt man, thats what caused mine, I used to wear scrubs and would tighten my rope around em so tight it would cut off circulation when i sat down and would sometimes hurt, then Id go run and i'd always wonder why the front of my thighs would start going numb and burn, figured it was cutting off circulation didnt know it was from nerve dmg, that sux... now everytime i lay on my stomach it starts going numb
Yep. Tight fitting clothes around the waistline for anyone who suffers from MP is a BIG no-no.
Thank U sir..
Mine started from my ultrasound preparation. Drank 1litre bout 2 hrs to the imagine . And not allowed to pee 2hrs before That put serious pressure on my bladder until I couldn't take it anymore. 😮

Sir can ypu show me clawhand exercise
Still unsure what I've got. Outer hip, buttock and lower back numbess. Only pain in and around outer hip joint. Pins and needles in foot. 😢
