Healthcare providers can typically diagnose meralgia paresthetica with a physical exam and a thorough understanding of your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. Rarely, surgery is necessary to correct compression on the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Healthcare providers usually only recommend surgery for people who try other treatments but still experience symptoms. Does meralgia paresthetica go away? B vitamin levels for signs of vitamin B12 deficiency or folate deficiency, which can affect nerve function. Meralgia paresthetica results from the compression of your lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). Your LFCN is a large sensory nerve. It travels from your spinal cord through your pelvic region and down the outside of your thigh. This compression can happen due to swelling and inflammation, injury or pressure.Medications: Medications like gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, phenytoin or carbamazepine may help treat neuropathic pain. The majority of cases improve with conservative treatment, such as losing weight, wearing loose clothing or avoiding certain restrictive items like belts. Meralgia paresthetica occurs when the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve — which supplies sensation to the surface of your outer thigh — is pinched (compressed).

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and topical medications such as capsaicin and lidocaine can also help symptoms.Physical therapy may help, but there’s limited research on its effectiveness in treating meralgia paresthetica.
