Correct Cause: M.P. Can last a months to years if the cause is not corrected. Although it gets better quickly (a month or two) if the cause is removed. Pressure on thigh (fat, swollen belly, wallet, belt) is often cause, but surgical problem, growth, or trauma can be, too. If unsure, get exam by doctor.
