Hi
I'm just wondering if any of you have had a trapped femoral nerve (groin/upper inner thigh area).
My doctor thinks I have this and I've got to go for physio.
I suspect it's something to do with peri muscle and ligament stuff as it's a recent addition to the list.

As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax. I have various aches and pains all the while, enough to make me go 'ouch!'. Yesterday it was sciatica, couldn't work out why.
Are you sitting/standing correctly and time to check your footwear!

Bobidy, yes I had it excrutiating pain ended up on gabapentin, tramadol, etc etc. It was a few years ago now, wrongly diagnosed by GP & NHS physio, eventually told that's what it was & treated for it by private physio, such relief. I couldn't sleep with the pain, had never heard of it even though I'm a nurse. that's interesting what GP says the more I find out the more I realise so many symptoms over alot of years likely peri (I'm 41yrs). Hope you get relief from physio. x

Hi Bobidy, I honestly can't remember it was so long ago but the private physio I saw she's hands on & did alot of manipulation, I think I saw her twice & that was me sorted. Whereas before I had been months in agony, nobody other than her properly listened to what I was saying, ie where the pain was, GP & NHS physio fixated on it's from the hip, I never had hip pain it was always in a specific point of the groin. There's an MSK website, not sure if it has any specific exercises on it?! Sorry I can't be more help. x
