Thanks for the wakeup call.
Meralgia paraesthetica can definately be exacerbated by a sacroiliac support. A lumbar support is really too high relative to where the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve penetrates from within the abdominal cavity. By definition, MP involves the antero-lateral region of the thigh. Tight pant belts, work belts, anything tight around the waist (several inches below the navel and hip bone) or even walking into a table or object and contusing the area just below the front hip bone (ASIS) pretty much will do it! Also, spinal issues at the T12-L1 level, approximately, can cause the same.
