Legs, mainly thighs, are sensitive to the touch after standing for long periods of time. why?

Do you wear tight: Clothing? There is a nerve entrapment that can happen near our waist in the front called meralgia paresthetica that affects a sensory nerve to the side and front of our thigh and gets worse after standing for long periods. Are you carrying any extra weight? If this is what you have, the two ways to fix it are weight loss and loose clothing. I hope this helps!
