I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of Meralgia paresthetica. It causes a pain and itching in the thigh area which comes from nerve damage. The thigh feels pain, numbness, a feeling of bee stinging and extreme itching.
If you know anything about this, and have any suggestions regarding treatment, I would appreciate it.
Thanks so much....

Wow! That is exactly what I have had for the last 30+ years since pregnancy. I didn't know it was a condition that had a name. Just thought I had a numb, painful thigh and had to live with it the best I could. I also am overweight and have diabetes, so it all fits together. Thanks for finding the name for it.

Hope it doesn't give you too much trouble...
