A member asked:
What is a zinging numb feeling above my knee on my thigh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be nerve: The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh can get impinged or injured over the lateral hip and cause a problem called meralgia paresthetica, which can easily be diagnosed, treated, and improved. See a local neurologist. If you are overweight, lose some pounds, and do not have tight objects about your waist.
