A member asked:
What does "entrapment of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh" mean? what conditions go along with that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure on nerve: This means that the nerve that carries sensation from the outer part of the thigh gets entrapped or pinched in the thigh or pelvis. Usually this happens as it passes down from the abdomen to the thigh underneath a ligament. This is mostly seen in diabetics, people who experience rapid weight gain, pregnancy, obesity, tight clothes/belts. It is generally gets better once the cause is removed.
