@178anatomy: THAT OUTER THIGH BURNING OR NUMBNESS MAY START HIGHER. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve travels from the front-lateral hip region into the outer thigh. If this pathway becomes mechanically sensitive, symptoms can sometimes travel downward and feel like they are coming from the thigh itself. The symptom may be lower, but the pathway begins higher. #OuterThighPain #MeralgiaParesthetica #NervePain #HipPain #Anatomy
