I did go back the next day and they told me I did not have a blood clot, and that it was probably just a pinched nerve, and not to worry. I have not slept for more than 3-4 hours a night in the last 1 1/2 weeks, I did some research, and I am convinced I have Meralgia paresthetica. Is there any Canadians on this board that are dealing with MP? The Canadaian health plan SUCKS!!! ( get ready Americans! it is going to get very UGLY) I know once I get to see my doctor it will be 6 months before I will get to see a specialist. Is there anything I can do myself to eleviate the pain ( beers not working ).

Suffered MP 4 years now..had lfcn decompression in Jan in Hamilton Canada by top leading nerve specialist with no results. Nerve was decompressed in 3 different areas and the pain has not subsided. On way too many meds, tired of listening to the same story from my dr....tolerance is very thin. Glad to have found this forum...just knowing I'm not alone is a blessing.
