What causes tingling sensation and goosebumps on thigh?
Patient: Hello.  I have been having tingling and goosebumps in a strange pattern on the top of my left thigh.  I have been having neck, upper back and shoulder pain as well and pain that radiates down my arm.  Went to the Dr. and she said it couldn't be from my neck.  Just wondering if it is something I should get checked.  It started last Friday and has been more frequent happens sitting or standing.  Doesn't hurt at all, feels like a chill.  Thanks. Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.I have noted your symptoms. The description of your symptoms is suggestive of a condition called as meralgia paresthetica.In this condition, a skin nerve (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of thigh) located in thigh gets pinched at the level of groin. This can result in pain, tingling and burning in the thigh region.You can get good relief from medications such as gabapentin or pregabalin capsules.I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.Wishing you good health,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)Senior Consultant NeurologistApollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, IndiaClick on this link to ask me a DIRECT QUERY: http://bit.ly/Dr-Sudhir-kumarMy BLOG: http://bestneurodoctor.blogspot.in
