How common is it to experience Meralgia paresthetica after a LBL? (5-2019) I've had nerve issues since around 6-7 months post op. The burning has turned to complete numbness. I have chronic inflammation& pain from my pirformis/si joint through groin & thigh. Im told no surgeon will help fix my medial thighs until the nerve issues are resolved. I waited over a yr for a nuero to help me. I still cant lay on my stomach & right side & my legs rub & look worse. Still no help... I need my life back.
