It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you have gained weight recently, that could be a precipitating factor and losing weight would be imperative. Regular exercise may help in improving muscle tone and flexibility. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Suspect issue involving lateral femoral cutaneous nerve perhaps associated with obesity or tight belts around waist. Have your primary doctor examine
