Meralgia Paresthetica

I was diagnosed with meralgia paresthetica 3 years ago. I understand all the symptoms and work daily to manage them to include no tight clothes, weight loss, lite therapy.
About a year ago I noticed that if any fabric aside from pure 100% cotton touches that one leg with the meralgia paresthetica, all heck breaks loose within a minute. It seems as if the non-cotton fabric instantly aggravates the nerves are on fire and coming through my skin.

I have had to change my wardrobe and bed linings to all cotton. Additionally, when I travel or visit someone I have to take all cotton linings and towels or throws for chairs and bed, even on autplane seats and in hotels. It subsides about 30 to 60 minutes after I rid myself of the non-cotton fabric from that leg. It is just weird.

Does anyone else experience that with meralgia paresthetica or any other Neuropathy and if yes, is there a easier and less expensive or embarrassing fix to make this added symptom go away for good?

Have you been to a neurologist or dermatologist recently? I went to the dermatologist because I thought I had a rash between my shoulder blades- itched a lot. I was diagnosed with Notalgic Paresthetica- the cervical vertebrae are pushing on the nerve root, which causes those nerve endings to be irritated. She prescribed a topical ointment “Triamcinolone 0.1%, apply 2x day as needed”. It really helped to quiet those nerve endings down. I have to restart the application now and then, but it’s really under control now.
