My primary care diagnosed me with meralgia paresthetica - at first it was extremely painful. I was told to make an appt with an orthopedic doctor since my xrays also showed hip arthritis. Because I was in so much pain and could not get an appt for weeks, I decided to try a chiropractor. Research on the web showed that neuro chiropractors were successful at treating this. I found one (specializes in treating nerve pain) and went last week. She used ultrasound and that night I had my first sleep without pain. Since then I have mild pain off and on, she said it would take a few visits. You definitely want to get a medical diagnosis of course, but its something to consider to help with the pain.

Hi Ellenos,
My wife Barbara is experiencing what we believe is meralgia paresthetica but haven't yet got that confirmed from the few Drs she has seen. She recently starting see a local Chiropractor for Adjustments since the Xrays showed a couple of compressed lumbar. She had partial hip surgery in late October after a fall at home and has been in A LOT of pain since then.
I am curious about the ULTRASOUND treatment you mentioned from the Chiropractor. Could you please elaborate.
fyi: our Chiropractor also provides something called the "Matrix treatment" (PDF attached), which includes Vasopneumatic therapy (cupping) along with Electroceutical (nerve block program) therapy (computer controlled with electrodes). Unfortunately since she has a pacemaker, her Heart Dr confirmed with the pacemaker manufacturer that she should not have these treatments as the pacemaker could interpret the therapy impulses as impulses from her heart.
Thank you.
Jim
