A member asked:
Is burning thigh pain a usual symptom of meralgia paresthetica?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Burning or numbness along the lateral thigh is classic for meralgia paresthetica, but if you do not have a reason for it (protuberant abdomen, lots of pushing activities bent forward) then make sure other sources have been excluded (like an L4 root compression).
