Numb And Number: There's a sensory nerve that travels in that area that can get numb if it is compressed up by the groin.Like, from tight underwear or jeans or a heavy tool belt or a seat belt injury or from Diabetes or getting stuck in a chimney too long.It's called the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (so what).It could get worse (burning pain) or get better.Time will tell.And take off those nylon lace underwear!
