What is another word for meralgia?
Pronunciation: [məɹˈald͡ʒə] (IPA) 
Meralgia, or meralgia paresthetica, is a nerve condition that occurs when the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the thigh becomes pinched or compressed. This can lead to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the outer thigh area. Other terms used to describe this condition include Bernhardt-Roth syndrome, lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. While these terms may differ, they all refer to the same underlying nerve issue. Treatment options for meralgia include physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the affected nerve.
