There is a numb spot on my right thigh for years and that entire leg has a tendency of falling asleep ("pins and needles"). is this a pinched nerve?

Possibly: numbness pins and needles specific for neuropathy possibly compression neuropathy . get evaluated compression only one of many types of neuropathy but symptoms point to a nerve issue entire leg distribution atypical for one nerve pinch also no pain is atypical for nerve pinch

Meralgia: parasthetica. Pinching of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve may be an issue here. Avoid wearing tight clothing and see if it will help. Check this link. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meralgia-paresthetica/basics/definition/con-20030852
