a careful taper if you decide to discontinue Cymbalta.

And placement of the patches should be:
1) 1/2 patch at the inguinal exit
2) the other half, at the top of the thigh where it meets the abdomen, just below where the leg bends.

Placement at the place where you feel the pain, does not work for MP.
You need to intercept the nerve higher up.

There is a drawing in that link I gave you to aapf.org

Ohhh yeah I am aware of what happens when you stop taking cymbalta. My walgreens closes on sundays and holidays and one time I ran out friday and wasn't ready on saturday yet, tuesday was possibly the worst day I have ever had, weirdest feelings ever, I hope to never go through that again.

Yesterday I woke up with a numbness in my left leg - upper thigh region. My research says it may by Meralgia Paresthetica. It's not painful but just rather annoying. I've seen that some people have been living with it for years. I'm only 18 and just want to know if it will ever go away or if I'm going to be stuck like this forever.

Like I said, I'm not in pain - just an annoying numbness so I dont know if it's terribly severe. I'm kind of worried so I'm going to have it checked out later today.

What's the best treatment?

PLEASE HELP!

to do for a young person, is examine clothes. Tight jeans compress this nerve.
So that would be the first issue to consider.
