numbness & itching in thigh
The skin on my right thigh feels like it was shot with novacaine. Through my own research, I thought it was a compressed cutaneous nerve. Using an inversion table, I felt it was improving, but now it has started itching and burning, at times so badly that I can hardly stand it. Could this be because the nerve is no longer pinched and is getting the sensations back?

Had vacination for shingles. Think inversion table is helping. No more back pain. Hoping numbness will get better too.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Localized itching and burning in thigh without rash can be due to shingles, pinched nerve, clot in deep veins or due to atherosclerosis. You will need a nerve conduction study, dopplar study and if both are negative, then it could be shingles.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Hope this helps. Take care!
