About a year ago I was having some tingling (and wake-you-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night BURNING) on the front of my left upper thigh. I believe it was diagnosed as Meralgia Paresthetica. It was caused by nerve compression. For me it eventually went away as I started dropping weight. Every now and then (extremely rare) I still feel a little tingling, but I can't even begin to recall the last time I had the burning sensation. That is not something I miss at all. When those instances happened, it felt like my thigh was being branded with a hot iron.

I was thinking it could be a compressed nerve, but I'm not feeling any burning or pain. It just feels like two little trolls down there, tickling my calves.

I've been living with this for years, unfortunately. Increasing exercise has helped, but I haven't lost enough weight for it to go completely away. It just takes longer before it becomes an issue.
