What Causes Groin Pain And Numbness On The Sides Of The Thigh?
I have some trouble with groin pain(genital femoral ), but lately my out side thigh (vastus lateralis area) goes numb while I m standing for long periods of time... should I be worried? the genital famoral pain has decreased with this new symptom becoming more pronounced. I had a steroid injection in the genital femoral to try and stop the pain, but nothing changed for over a month... is this a late reaction or something else?

Hello,
It could be pulled muscle or can be neuropathic pain like sciatica. As of now you can take analgesics like Gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
If pain persist, better to take an MRI scan to rule out any tendon or muscle involvement.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
