When I was looking for answers for my MP pain, and that was YEARS ago BTW..... I found some information about presentation of the symptoms. Seems that people have varying anatomical presentations due to genetic variance and placement of the nerve.
Some have this nerve being compressed at L4 level, some at L5 level, etc. Mine appeared after a C-section, and so I suspect mine is coming from compression at the hip--the nerve exit being compressed. But people can have this damage from bone marrow tests or donation, because a needle damaged it as it entered the abdomen. Or at the spinal level from disc or spur irritation, or as in my case a surgery which was looking for ovarian tumors, during my C-section. This nerve can be compressed or damaged in many places along its path.
I even met a doctor who said a blood clot in the thigh can cause MP. So it is not just one factor one must look at to decide how to go about treatment.
