Thigh nerve entrapment syndrome - Meralgia paraesthetica

[Jim Pickles]

Never had this in any of my students, but came across the issue in a website for aerialists. Something to bear in mind. Altered sensation (including numbness) on the upper and outer side of the thigh, often made worse by movement.

Thanks for this, Jim. Every time I have a massage and I have to lay on my back for a long while, this can happen to me. As soon as I move, it goes away, so I have never worried about it.

That's the hard life

Well, I wish I could get massaged more often! But seriously, this used to happen wherever I did a lying relaxation, too; that was a bigger problem. Much less common now, for some reason, but it still happens. But because I know it's a temporary phenomenon, zero problem.
