A member asked:

What is abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pinched nerve: I think you are referring to the lateral cutaneous femoral nerve syndrome. This is a situation where a nerve branch gets entrapped and can lead to numbness and sometimes pain in the anterior thigh.
