A member asked:

Is it possible that high stress levels and anxiety for a long period of time can be the cause of my meralgia paraesthetica? cant find another cause

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not directly: Habits to deal with stress such as high impact exercise or types of clothing can cause it. If your PCP is unfamiliar may want to see a neurologist who may be able to ask some additional questions.
