Meralgia Paraesthetica

Wondering if anyone been diagnosed with this?

I have suffered way before being diagnosed type 2 some 5+ years ago, numbness in right thigh, followed by stinging and dreadful pains having to sit frequently
Then it disappeared but numbness remained
Have lost 3 stones since

Only recently it began again so GP visit confirmed above diagnosis and am not happy really as no real treatment available apparently

On 10mg amitripolin at night but not noticed any improvement yet.

Hope you are doing ok tallgardener ...
As for me , they upped the amitriptoline to 40mg for few months but am back down to 20 mg at mo as think it's causing me terrible sweats in an afternoon ... the pain is ongoing And some days are better than others
Still, we press on!
