- Our sedentary lifestyles may give rise to conditions such as Meralgia Paresthetica in which the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve becomes compressed or develops adhesions causing entrapment. Symptoms include numbing/tingling/discomfort to the “Front Pocket” area or upper lateral portion of the thigh. Add this technique for relief.

Thank you so much I had been struggling for over a week with this and it felt like it was spreading ten minutes doing this and feeling returned!!!
You’re a life saver! Even laying down has become uncomfortable!
I’m glad I found this video. I’ve had this issue, mostly numbness, for over 20 years. Now that I am pregnant I’m getting stabbing pains all day every day. I look forward to trying this, and hopefully finding relief.
Thank you so much for your great advice. It’s a great relief . God bless you and your family. 🙏
Awesome idea for circulation and massage of fascia, tendons, muscles & nerves. Thank you!
Had no idea it was this simple I thought I had messed up my leg when I fell once. I think you very much for putting out this information this. I thought I was done walking but now I'm seeing improvement thank you very much
Mine is from pregnancy, left leg. Stretches def help alleviate my pain. “Doctors” get on my nerves just prescribing medications all of the damn time. If we just do our research and be consistent with working on ourselves, we could probably get rid of most of our issues. Not everyone but a lot in my opinion! Thank you!
You are most welcome!😄Keep us posted on your progress.
Dr joe dispensa is the answer
I don't sit a lot, but I was just diagnosed with Osteoporosis in the hip, lower spine, and wrist. I know that the bone loss is directly affecting all the nerves in these areas. The tingling in the leg from the hip down to the foot, is a new sensation. I'm glad I found your video, this has helped me tremendously! Thank you. I'm a new subject and I clicked the bell for all your videos.
wow I have never commented on any TH-cam channel I did not know what was going on I started using your method and felt better. Thank you so much
You described what I have perfectly and I am going to follow treatment for the problem.
Thank you
Thank you a thousand times!!! Weight loss and loose pants and the roller stopped the numbness
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄We are happy to hear that this video found you and you have found relief. Happy health to you.
Oh man I can't wait to try this. I was in a hospital for 1 week. Then I came home 2 weeks In bed barely moving. My tight is killing me. Thank you sir for doing this we need more humans like you God bless you. ❤🙌🌏
How was it now? How long would it took to heal completely?
The pain. Excruciating pain. Constant, knee to thigh, thigh is going to snap, knee is going to explode. Unable to sleep more than 2 hours. Oxy not even hitting the sides Unable to find a single position to reduce the pain, for even 3 seconds. The throbbing, the burning. The numbbess. Its like a screwdriver in your thigh and a knife up through the kneecap. Jabbing at you. 10 nights, 9 days. I never knew how much pain i could bear. Cant stand for 10 seconds, everything excruciating. Pass out level. This is just cruel. Really, really cruel.
I’m Glad that you Shared This information and exactly breaking down the Steps was great for the video and experience with explanation.😍💯❤️ Thank You for the best video tutorial walkthrough exercises to help my compressed Nerve! 😊😁😄😃😀💯😭
God bless you! Instant heal...I hope this could help me to reach a complete recovey
👍😄
Antonio Castillo It will! Just do it daily. It healed me!
Works like a charm and is such an easy thing to do.
About 4 days ago I was sleeping and my left thigh went numb and I had a sudden stabbing feeling. That went away, but the numbness lingered. I do sit A LOT. Doing this and some stretches helped it feel better the same day. The numbness isn't totally gone, but I'll continue to work things out and hopefully the numbness will go away soon.
Update?
Please update.
Did it go away pal?
Did it go away pal?
Has it gone away?
Omggggg this really worked. I have SEVERE pain in my outer thigh and it gets SOOOO tight. I tried this and instantly felt relief. Thank you❤
I feel like this is something that I have been dealing with lately. Great explanation on the ways to relieve the pain and discomfort! I was nervous to even touch the area as I didn’t want to aggravate it but that makes sense
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Happy to hear that this video found you. Thanks for commenting and keep us posted on your progress.
Same ...I can relate. So glad I looked up symptoms online
I did think it odd that it took this many decades of my life to ever hear about this condition....or to get it/ experience it myself.
But so glad to have it explained.
Thanks much for this video. I have been watching one video after another to find ways to resolve this issue. I take care of residential swimming pools, so I do a lot of hiking, carrying this and that with me. To have this aggravating pain in the upper right leg really makes my work day an adventure in pain. I can still work, but wow. So this method of yours is one I will be doing. Another video a therapist discovered if you place your feet under your chair, crossed over one another, and then seated more towards the edge of the chair, place knees wide, pushing hips forwards, tightening butt muscles, that relieves all the issues regarding this nerve, sciatica,, etc. The chair I have has arms on it and is very sturdy, so I can place my hands on the arms and push up at the same time. That seems to give a sort of decompression for the spine. The therapist on the other video stated he takes a break once in a while and does this stretch / exercise. I think that is the best thing I have found along with your video here
I have had this for 18 years and doctors can't figure out what's wrong and I couldn't either. Till I found your videos. I'm going to watch both your videos and try the things you say will help. At least I know what it's called now thank you.
What's the update?
Very simple technique but it sure helped a lot thank you !!!
Hello and Thanks for Watching! We are happy to hear how this video helped you. Thanks again for watching and we wish you the best of health!😄
Great video sir... I'm going to try this. I sit ALL DAY. I drive the city bus as well as the school bus part time.
Hello and Thanks for Watching! Keep us posted and we wish you the best of health.
Me-too same profession with same problem..
This problem develop for me when I was doing Uber,food delivery and Messenger driver service for the last 15 years in my career that I had to stop and sadly get another job doing something else and I also had an episode of Sciatica too--horrible pain as well.
Mail Delivery for me
Thanks for the video!
I'll be trying this soon.
How often should this be done?
Due to wearing a body harness continually at work, I have now lived with Meralgia Paresthetica for 20 years. It's not debilitating, but it is annoying and on occasions I experience a painful burning on the left thigh even though I have lost skin sensation in that area. Nothing thus far has fixed it. Losing weight has helped. I will try the rolling pin. Thanks for the tip!
👍😄
I have found deep massage an rolling help as well. But by accident in a moment of a really bad onset....I found that using very hot heating pad and having my daughter sit on me as I laid down, help to stop the stinging pain from being so intense.
Then found that adding heavy barbell weights onto a pillow helped, but they would slide off when I slept.
We got a heavy weighted blanket. I put heating pad on over my fleece blanket under the folded up in a pillowcased weighted blanket They are not cheap, but that helped tremendously.
Thanks for this video. What helped me is placing pressure with my thumb on the painful areas until the pain dissipated. Did over a few days and my pain went down drastically. Also I now stand instead of sit at work
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄We are happy that this video found you and has helped. Thanks again for watching and your inquiry.
thank you so much. i'm so happy i found this video
This same thing has started with me. I had it before and it went away but it’s back again. I will try the rolling pin! Thanks!
Awesome vid!

SAME
Mee too same

Well i used aroller and it worked..i haven't felt it in days..thank you so much!
I have suffered with this since Sept. 2019 after Covid. Thank you so much!
I've suffered with this since 2010.
I've been having this issue the past three weeks. I'll give this a shot and come back with how it goes. Thanks for the tip!
Did it work?
What's the update?
Great video. I did this and have felt great for the next two days. I got a little today but not nearly as bad as it was. I felt like a cell phone was burning in my pocket.
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Happy that this video found you and you have found some relief. Thanks for your comment.
I will try your advice.thank you.
Thank you so much! I have never experienced this until now!
You are Most Welcome!😄We are happy to hear that this video found you and has helped. Thanks for Watching and your comment.
Thanks for the information .
Thank you so much for this help. I find the numbness is more towards the front, so I suppose the compression / impingement is affecting the anterior femoris cutaneous fibres of the femoral nerve. Anyway, your massage and exercises help a lot, many thanks. What can you do if the impingement is at the site of the inguinal ligament?
Thanks..this really helps!
Thank you so much. I massaged the area and feel so much relief already. So grateful!!!
Thank you for watching
@@MoveWellLiveWell sir i have itches in my left foot I can't even but thight pants😥
I been dealing with this for over a month now. I feel down and then the miserable pain started. I have been doing stretches and going to cryotherapy and getting a massage and it is a lot better
Thank you for fixing my thigh injury it has been a nightmare for me !
Great to hear this helped. Thank you for watching!
You've saved my life.
thank you so much, I sit for long periods of time in my day job and find when im standing on my security job the front of my thigh has no sensation like a numbness and a pain at the same time, im going to try this thank you thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you. Very helpful!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
great information thank you
At 2:42 is when I knew this guy is the real deal, a lot of people don’t know how to roll out fascia properly. This guy does.
I am glad I found this video. My pain started shortly after starting a temporary job at work that requires me to stand around 6 to 8 1/2 hours a shift. Fortunately I will be able to go back to my forklift job that allows me to sit down most of the time. When the pain flares up, it burns like Hell "pardon my French" but when it stops, it's as if nothing happened. Does not seem to be any residual pain until it happens again. It is either on or off.
Dear I am having the same issue the skin feels burning it's horrible when it comes up. But these videos are very helpful.
I have a similar issue but no pain just numbness has anything changes for you
@@miguelnavarrete8578 still stiffness around knee after 5 weeks but the physio said it's understandable and will take few more weeks
Thanks so much . It helped me 💯
Have had this for 2 years now. MRI of back clear. Hip X-ray clear but I do have hypermobility in hips. No one knows what to do. It went away for 6 months and back again with a vengeance. It’s ruining my life. The tingling drives me crazy. Will definitely try this.
Thank you.

Thanks for Watching!😄Keep us posted on your progress.
Good night thank you very much for the info
Thanks so much for this video. I want to try this overtaking meds. If I don't have a rolling pin, anything else that I could use?
thank you - I'm going to give that a go - I'm really suffering atm all the way to the knee and it's bad. I'll let you know. xxg
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄We hope you find some relief with this technique and we wish you the best of health.
I don't have a rolling pin but I got my Belvedere Vodka bottle and following along😭
This is Doctor Mengele here, if the bottle doesn't work, continue to drink the contents with gusto!
Thank you I have been suffering from this for about 10 years . I will try this. Is this something you should do every day?
Thank you very much and god bless you
Thank you so much for your video. I have been under the impression for years that sciatica is the cause of my thigh numbness which turns into pain when I do short (3 mile) hikes or other stressors (see below). Given the location of the sciatic nerve, and the location of the femoral cutaneous nerve I now believe I have Meraligia Parestheica. However I also have symptoms of Piriformis Syndrome which complicates things. I recently fractured my pelvis (90% recovery) on the right side which has caused the Meraligia Parestheica to become much more severe when under stress...walking, standing sitting, etc, too much. I'm currently doing PT 2x per week along with the exercises at home. Do you recommend I see a neurologist for this or start incorporating your exercises (which are new to me) into my PT routine?
Doc thank you. I am trying everything.
After nearly four years of knee pain, physio, swimming, yoga, an arthroscopy and finally a hip replacement, resting anything at all on my thigh is painful, a sensation I experienced to a lesser degree before the operation. Five months after the operation I am much stronger and can walk further albeit with heaviness in the leg but little pain, but resting anything at all on my thigh results in almost immediate quite severe pain which disappears as soon as the object is removed. Could I have Meralgia Paresthetica?
Hey thank you very much for your help I use your method and it work thank you very much again
Wow thank you so much! I’ve been suffering for the past two days, I am definitely going to try this out! You got yourself a new sub!
Hello! Thanks for Watching And Subscribing!😄Keep us posted on your progress.
Your description sounds near to what I feel. I have numbness on my LEFT thigh down to the knee at outer side. But it also itches a lot. Sometimes it's like a sharp Burning Electrical Shock pain that I have to move my knee up - down , massage it the spot, scratch it a lot & hit or Bang the spot for pain to go away. I used to have Sciatica pain in the same leg but in back of leg & lower back pain, but that is a different pain and it's no longer there . Do I have what you're talking about? oh yeah, I'm a truck driver for 33 years & still rolling, haha. Thank you for the great information!
Thank you so much sir, you are are truly a big help for my mother thigh pain.. Again thank you
You are Most Welcome!😄We are happy to hear that this video found you and has helped your mother. Thanks for Watching and your comment.
Two weeks ago I was in the hospital for a couple days and my thigh has been numb ever since... definitely going to try this.
Same thing happened to me. I was in the hospital for a few days. My surgery was my right abdomen and my left thigh has been numb ever since.. I wonder why?
Has this worked for you?
@@user-uw4wk8no3b I did it a few times and if definitely decreased
I was also in the hospital for a couple of days and started having this issue. At first I wasn't concerned as it didn't seem serious compared to having surgery but now I am starting to feel more encumbered by it.
I just had hip replacement on my left hip 2 weeks ago and now I have this happening on my nonoperative leg. Hurts when I lay down at night for bed. Can't sleep due to this pain.
Thank you.
Peace and love from Liverpool England ✌🏼❤️🙏
Thank you for watching.
Thankyou it actually helping straight away as I'm typing I got the Missus onto it 🙂
Thank you I will try this. I've had this problem for years, it even starts to hurt at night and I have to constantly change positions.
Be too
Any improvement? I have been having it since last three years, only left side for couple of years n right one too since last year. I can't feel much if I scratch my skin in this area but deep inside I have sensation n pain if I pinch it harder.
@@khushiawan8744 same for me, it was left leg for years and now it's starting in my right leg. Finally addressing it!
@@fragwagon So what treatment have you gone through so far? Please let me know if you have any improvement.
@@khushiawan8744 none! But I am going to really go for these exercises and stretches.
Thank you! I used a bumpy therapy ball just once and it reduced the burning.
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄You’re Welcome! Happy to hear that this video found you and helped.
Could you do a video on complications from meralgia paresthetica? Can it cause incontinence, or pain the opposite leg, in joints? Thank you for posting this video. I appreciate your help.
Thank You so much. I really needed this information. What are your personal thoughts on taking Gabapentin for this problem?
I've had MP for over 10 yrs & have been on Gabapentin. At most, I was on 800mg 3x/day. It did help the pain however, I was a walking zombie & gained more weight which, worsens the MP; thus a ridiculous circle. I slowly lowered my dosage to 800 mg at night when my pain is at its worst. Good luck!
Thank you very much sir!!!!
I’m 31, active and in great shape. I thought this stemmed from a motorcycle accident I had a few years ago but seeing how many ppl this is affecting I’m realizing it has more to do with tighter fitting clothes and other positions that can compress the nerve. Massaging it with my hand really helps but only temporarily. My numbness and heat starts when my leg is fully extended and it’s really annoying. When I’m laying down and keep my leg flexed it goes away. If I extend my leg when I’m sleeping I end up waking up. There has to be a permanent fix for this I’m only 31 and don’t want to go down the road of corticosteroid injections this early. This is getting in the way of my career and my sleep!Help 😩

I've been having trouble with the condition for months now. My doctor only recently told me it was MP. I have lower back pain too. I'm working on weight loss is well. Besides stretching and the rolling pin, as there exercises I can be doing to help with this?
facebook.com/events/564479477514172/
I am so sorry to hear about your pain i can relate did you find help or anything I am looking all over trying to find the root of my discomfort and annoying pain I am active and always been confused as to why its happened to active people.
Lynn Pope I noticed that tighter fitting pants definitely played a role in the discomfort at the end of the day. STRETCH! stretching has been so important to me personally and massage your quads with your palm or use a bread roller, don’t be scared to apply pressure you want to get as deep into the muscle as possible. I massage right from above the knee all the way up to my groin and try to stretch out my quad as much as I can for about 5 minutes. It can hurt in the beginning and feel super uncomfortable but I noticed that when I keep going despite the pain, I feel a ton of relief. I’ve also incorporated some calisthenics workouts that really really helped and I would highly recommend. Since I’ve posted my initial comment, all these things combined almost eliminated my problem completely. I still feel a tingling sensation from time to time but I can feel it slowly dwindling as long as I keep up with the stretches and massages, they were so important to me. What worked for me might not work for everyone but I hope you at least consider trying some of those, if not all. Good luck!
Same issues, I can't even step my left thigh on the stairs easily. Will try the rolling pin hope it works.
Did it work? I hope so...
Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I have been massaging my thigh (studied remedy massage in the past so have the knack) rather than using the rolling pin. I have had HUGE success with this and the results are: far few sensations of "electric shock", pain and ache have reduced 50%, tingling and burning reduced, numbness is reducing. thanks for your help. xx
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Happy to hear that this video found you and helped.
Can u share how to massage ur leg well?
Can you share how to do that i feel that also thanks
Mine completely just goes away till it comes momentarily for a visit. I wish my tinnitus would learn to do that too!!
I'm getting my rolling pin tomorrow.
Did the rolling pin help you James Knox?
I'm going to purchase one this weekend. Thanks for the reply back
I have all the symptoms, but now I'm experiencing burning sensations. It feels like I'm being pinched. I tried doing stretchering with one knee down on the floor and the other knee up and it helped me to stand up much straighter but know I'm feeling all these sensations constantly throughout the day and trying to sleep is a challenge. The only way for me to get a little relief is to place a soft medium size spike ball under the lower part of my back or to under my hip.
Nice video .how ever you did not mention whether you have to do with this rolling pin when you have this sensetion and numbness or we need to do it every day ?
Thank you for sharing! What about this condition from working out to much? I definitely have this, but I'm very active.
I was going to ask him the same. I began when I went every afternoon to the gym.
@@losrelatosdevictoria you could have compressed the nerve with a specific exercise i.e hip thrusts, squats, leg press etc or by wearing compression pants
I have the same issue, thanks for the video
Thank you helped a lot!
👍😄
Thanks dear I am going to do this
OMG IT FREAKIMG WORKED IM AFRAID. What type of exercises can I do to prevent this. At this current moment I'm doing squats because it's sitting and getting up in my mind
i sit 8 hours sometimes 16 hours a day , i even sleep sitting in my car... , i only get numbness when standing and mainly my right leg... It’s gotten worse because it’s really hot outside and I don’t really stand or walk outside,, so i sit all day.. It doesn’t hurt just more annoying.. So there is hope ...
wow thanks, I feel I should be paying you a fee for your service. I dont know if it works yet. Its midnight here in Australia. I will go out and buy a rolling pin tomorrow.
Thanks for the info going to get me a roller 👍

This happened to me tonight while on stage performing . I felt a tickle sensation coming from upper right thigh all the way down and it made it feel numb, I felt like I was going to fall ..what could be causing this? Bcoz it can’t come from sitting too long, all I do it’s dance
I've had this for two years , I do exercises, and don't sit for that long I do walk around , I've had many injections but the pain is still their , thanks for the tip
Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Sorry to hear about your symptoms. Keep us posted on your progress.
I relate to your story so much. I’ve lost weight, had shots, and still deal with extreme pain all day. Never had a sit down job, and I can’t sit very long in the same position due to the pain. Hope you find relief soon
Did this rolling pin thing help?
Thank you so much
Than u sir now i get that , i used to study 3 hours continue sitting like this and by keeping my legs under the table thanks sir
I had been diagnosed with Meralgia Paresthetica 2 months ago. Still very painful after steroids for 2 weeks and PT for several more. It hurts the most after laying in bed for a few minutes, then I would get up and walk which helped. I tried the rolling pin for the last four days and it worked. Its still sore by mid day but I just use rolling pin when it starts. The tingling sensation has stopped, its mostly sore and less numbness. I am finally sleeping through night without getting up. Thanks for sharing this method.
