I have been diagnosed by my doctor as having Meralgia Paresthetica. I have a few questions. The pain I am experiencing is not just on the surface of the skin such as tingling, burning, numbness, etc.. I also have deep pain within the outer thigh and is very painful upon pressure or when the leg is bumped. If this is indeed the diagnosis, is there a cure or even a surgery to fix this disease. I have been going through this pain now for over a year. Last December I raised up from a lying down position and felt a 'pop' in my leg and sudden numbness with extreme pain. This has not gotten any better with conservative treatments. Can you help me with this and if there is a surgery to repair, do you know of any and where?
