I haven't exercised in a month... Just got back on the treadmill....
when I was done walking I sat down and felt that familiar tingly feeling in my legs.

What is that?

I've never really thought about it before, but now I'm really curious
Anyone have a clue?

    Meralgia paresthetica is the clinical term for the condition that causes the sensory nerves of legs to tighten. Also called "pinched nerves," this condition affects the femoral cutaneous nerves, which provide sensation to the thighs and hips. The Johns Hopkins Medicine website notes that the tingling is primarily felt on the outer thigh and is generally accompanied by a burning sensation and numbness. Repetitive movements, such as those made during exercise, intensify symptoms.

    My doctor says alot of people have it and dont even know it. Just pace yourself. I dont even notice it anymore since I exercise daily now.
