Has anyone else had a pinched nerve in their thigh/abdomen?

I thought I had pulled the muscle in my upper front thigh, but I went to the doctor and he told me it was a pulled muscle AND a pinched nerve in my abdomen, which is causing tingling all up and down the front of my thigh. He was frustratingly vague about how long it would take to get better, but told me not to do any bending or stretching until the tingling sensation stops--there's my awesome daily yoga session out the window!

So has anyone else ever had this? How long did it take to go away? Did you do anything to "help it along"? Google is no help, it's just telling me to stop wearing skinny jeans.

I feel like such a noob! Any advice/experience would be greatly appreciated.
