Meralgia paresthetica occurs when the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which supplies sensation to the outer part of the thigh, is compressed or entrapped at the point where it exits the pelvis
Overweight individuals are more likely to develop meralgia paresthetica; men are more commonly affected than women. The disorder tends to occur in middle-aged individuals.
Meralgia paresthetica is a condition characterized by tingling, numbness and burning pain in the outer part of your thigh. The cause of meralgia paresthetica is compression of a nerve - the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve - that supplies sensation to the skin surface of your upper leg. Common causes of this nerve compression include tight clothing, obesity or weight gain, and pregnancy. Meralgia paresthetica can also be due to nerve injury, from a disease such as diabetes or from trauma. Treatment for meralgia paresthetica is directed at relieving the compression and usually consists of self-care measures, such as wearing looser clothing or losing weight. In severe cases of meralgia paresthetica, treatment may include medications to treat the discomfort or, rarely, surgery.
Yes, prolonged use can lead to Meralgia Paresthetica. That does not feel good at all and can cause additional damage to other nerves in the legs and circulatory system.
They might. Skinny jeans are body hugging and the most fashionable have 10" leg openings at the ankle, but there are those that range up to 14" in circumference. According to recent reports on CurrentTV and the Today Show, doctors are reporting incidences of meralgia paresthetica or "tingling thigh syndrome." This is caused by a compressed leg nerve. The likelihood of this happening is compounded when high heels are worn with skinny jeans.
How long does this condition last? I can hardly stand the pain...
One possible answer is Meralgia paresthetica, which usually results from compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. It may be caused by obesity, pregnancy or wearing tight clothing or belts, but sometimes the cause is uncertain. It may be associated with tingling, loss of sensation or burning on the lateral or outside of the thigh. Ceasing to wear tight clothing might resolve the problem, however once the condition exists it is unlikely to go away.

They are odd sensations of tingling, burning, pinpricks, lightning-flashes of pain, or numbness
No, generally sciatica would be pain radiating from the lower back, usually on one side or the other. This pain would radiate to the buttocks or down the back of the leg and not the front of the leg. A type of pain or numbness that comes from the waist and to the front of the thigh can be meralgia paresthetica which is an entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. This often happens when there during pregnancy or obesity. It may even happen with pants that are too tight, especially when you sit for long periods of time. The pain described could also be caused by damage to or inflammation of the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve allows people to feel sensations in the front part of the thigh and a section of the lower leg.
