[|Human|] Intermittantly I experience sharp short pain radiating into my groin area aand upper thigh and it is extremely painful I best add I do have pupus/PMR and 6 years ago had spinal surgery for spondilolythesis and had stabilasation with rod and screws ....could it be the next level up ? I also have history of easinopathy (?spelling) of tendon tearing from head of femur ....thank you Veronica
[|AI|]  Dear patient This is not related to spinal disease or surgery. This is mostly due to neuralgia parenthetical, a condition in whicChatDoctorpression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh leads to pain and tingling and numbness over upper anterior aspect of thigh.  I would advise EMG NCV of involved lateral cutaneous nerve to confirm diagnosis. Start taking tab vitamin B12 plus pregabalin 75 mg at bedtime for 10 days. If report comes abnormal please consult expert orthopedic surgeon.
