Although I am not a doctor or a nurse I do know quite a bit about nerve damage as I have the problem myself in both legs, the right being much worse than the left. Initially, the pain and burning were almost more than I could bear. This started approximately15 years ago during pregnancy and come to find out the baby was laying on nerves that led to my right and left thighs. I can and do sympathize with you as I know how bad the pain is. In my case there is absolutely nothing they can do, other than medication. The damage is permanent and has already begun to have an effect on the muscle movement in my legs. However, if your pain does turn out to be from nerve damage you might ask for them to try you on Neurontin, because I'm here to tell ya it's a miracle drug. The numbness will never go away but the pain and skin sensitivity will diminsh.

I sure hope you find help faster than I did...15 years is a long time to wait lol
