What Causes Burning Sensation And Numbness In The Thigh?
Over the last few days I have experienced a sudden intense burning in my left thigh, which seems to become hard and numb. I ve had this happen three times over the past week. The duration of each episode is short, certainly less than a minute. This happens for no apparent reason.

Hi,
You probably have got a condition called meralgia paresthetica. This is a pain due to irritation of a nerve in the thigh. This is mostly not a serious issue. The nerve is mostly trapped in the muscles or tendons. Physiotherapy is of a lot of help for this condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman,
