No, if brief: Iliohypogastric (IHG) neuralgia is caused by compression of the IHG nerve ( branch of L1 and occ T12)as it passes through the transverse abdominis muscle. Most commonly, compression is caused by a belt that is too snug or the constant friction against the skin while running. No problem if numbness resolves quickly, but back off if lasting longer. If there is back pain or stiffness get check.
