Meralgia paresthetica or meralgia paraesthetica is pain or abnormal sensations in the outer thigh not caused by injury to the thigh, but by injury to a nerve which provides sensation to the lateral thigh. Meralgia paresthetica is a specific instance of nerve entrapment. [5] The nerve involved is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN).
Weakness or numbness may occur in various parts of the affected leg and foot. [3] About 90% of sciatica is due to a spinal disc herniation pressing on one of the lumbar or sacral nerve roots. [4] Spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, pelvic tumors, and pregnancy are other possible causes of sciatica. [3]

[13] During pregnancy, relaxin serves as nature's way of allowing the female pelvis to achieve distention of the birthing canal. [ 13 ]
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
