A member asked:

Hello. i have a burning sensation around both of my groin area when i sleep on my side with my thighs flexed (like the fetal position). but the burning sensation goes right away when i sleep on my back & thighs not flexed. any idea what it could be?

If you're not experiencing this symptom when you're up and about and going about normal activities, I would attribute this positional symptom to impingement of nerves which travel through the groin ligaments. If you still have concerns, consult a neurologist for evaluation & advice.
