What Causes Numbness In Inner Thigh With A Burning Sensation?
numbness on left upper inner thigh but also a burning feeling going down. I had several cerebral angiograms done in that area aa couple of years ago and caused scar tissue that had to be removed because the femoral artery was blocking 80% of blood flow they fixed it. But this past 5 days I have burning and numbness. should I be concerned

Hi,
Burning with numbness is a sign of neurogenic pain. The typical sight suggests nerve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Pressure can be at the spinal or sciatic notch.
A detailed physical examination supported by MRI scanning would pinpoint the causative sight.
Treatment would be cause-specific(medicines, vitamin B12 supplements, physiotherapy).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
