I have had this problem for a couple of years now. First my right leg started having problems when I was working a lot doing remodel work on my house, standing on a concrete floor a lot, so I just figured it was that. My doctor didn't seem to have much idea what to do about it, but said he thought it was meralgia paraesthetica.

What's weird is that about two years later my right leg doesn't bother me much, but my left leg has it worse than the right ever did, and the ache, which seems to get worse when I go to bed, makes it very hard to sleep. Foturnately I have Oxycodone from my recent neck surgery. Ironically I had a very severe disc herniation in my neck that was pinching a nerve that went into my right shoulder and arm.

I don't know what to do. I just had x-rays, and A CT Scan that show nothing. I am running out of pain medicine and without it my nights might become living nightmares. Not sure what to do.
