Meralgia paresthetica is a neuropathic condition caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), which supplies sensation to the outer thigh. The entrapment usually occurs where the nerve passes under the inguinal ligament. Common causes include obesity, tight clothing, pregnancy, diabetes, prolonged standing, trauma, pelvic tilt abnormalities, or heavy tool belts. Symptoms include burning, tingling, numbness, hypersensitivity, or stabbing pain over the anterolateral thigh without motor weakness. Symptoms worsen with standing, walking, or hip extension, and improve with sitting or loosening pressure.

Homoeopathy helps reduce nerve inflammation, relieve neuropathic pain, improve local circulation, and correct underlying constitutional tendencies such as obesity, metabolic imbalance, or long-standing nerve sensitivity. Remedy selection is based on the nature of numbness, type of pain—burning, tingling, cutting—plus aggravating factors such as standing, clothing pressure, hyperesthesia, or movement. Deep-acting constitutional medicines support long-term nerve healing and prevent recurrence.

Thigh tingling with formication – Aconitum Napellus

Sudden nerve irritation; tingling with anxiety; cold, numb areas.

Electric shock-like pains – Phosphorus

Nerves highly sensitive; tingling relieved by cold; weakness after exertion.

Pressure-aggravated thigh pain – Bryonia Alba

Stitching, tearing pains worse by slightest movement, better lying still.

Burning numbness from nerve compression – Capsicum Annum

Spicy, burning, peppery sensation; tender skin; worse cold air.

Numb spots with coldness of limbs – Secale Cornutum

Cold, numb extremities; nerve ischemia; tingling yet cold to touch.

Paresthesia from tight clothing pressure – Lachesis Mutus

Pressure paralysis sensation; weakness after long standing or exertion.

Meralgia paresthetica is a sensory nerve compression condition presenting with burning, tingling, or numbness along the outer thigh. Homoeopathy offers individualized support that targets nerve inflammation, improves circulation, and reduces neuropathic sensitivity. When tailored to the patient’s pain pattern, modalities, metabolic tendencies, and emotional state, homoeopathy provides meaningful, long-term relief while addressing root causes like pressure, posture, or metabolic imbalance.
