A member asked:
I have a mild numbing around a small area above my left knee (vastus lateralis). will playing contact sport increase this damage ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Your symptoms sound like meralgia paresthetica. Are you wearing a leather construction tool belt? Are your jeans too tight at the waist? If persists you might see a neurologist. Cause of meralgia p. Is constriction and bruising of a femoral cutaneous nerve that crosses the pelvic brim on way to anterior thigh skin.
