Sounds like you: Have irritated you lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Causes a syndrome known as meralgia parasthetica. The nerve can get irritated by wearing a tight belt as it gets pinched at your waistline, a big belly that puts pressure on it or sitting forward for long periods of time. Nsaids, steroids, removing the irritating factors can help. If you have heart issues, see your doc before taking meds.
