Can anyone tell me the treatment for trapped femoral nerve is surgery a possibility?

Trapped nerve is not a diagnosis. you may have a compressed nerve but you don't indicate which part of the leg is having the pain..The femoral and sciatic nerve both supply the leg.. Would wonder why you have allowed it to continue for 7 months..That allows the inflammatory process to progress. When you get no relief, you may want to consider visiting a doctor of Chiropractic..

There is a surgical Procedure done in Japan. They break your legs and put pins in to strecth them.  also There are growth hormons if your growth platelts are still open but i dont like the side effects.

You should probably go see your surgeon.  They probably need to do a CT scan or MRI and see if you have a compressed or damaged nerve.

If you're talking like rods and pins and fusion...seriously get a 2nd opinion.\n\nMy sister has had 3 unsuccessful back surgeries.  It's ruined her life.

the femoral cutaneous nerve could be pinched at the pelvis...meralgia paresthetica maybe

My doctor said no.\n\nEither it can't be done, or he just wanted the $$$!\n\nDon't be scared of the surgery...I lived to tell about it, and so did two co-workers and 2 friends!

I dont have the answer but wanted to reply because i too am scheduled for this surgery.\nI know many that have had this surgery and they all swear by it--they can now walk and are pain free.\n\nIt is however--a must to do the therapy afterwards in order for success.\nRecovery is long but worth it--I have been told.

The sympathectomy has risks, you should thouroughly discuss with your surgeon.  Consider asking about botox, it can be used in select cases.

the big structures there, that can cause disability, are femoral vein, artery and nerve. damage to the nerve can cause loss of power or sensation in the leg. damage to the artery and vein can cause circulation problems, if you have been traumatised in the groin repeatedly and have any symptoms in the same leg, then you do want to see a doctor asap, good luck

The first thing you should expect, or in some cases ask for, is physical therapy. It is entirely possible that by implementing a physical therapy regiment into your daily routine will alleiviate this pain completely.\nHowever, aside from that, surgery can be, and might be, an option. \nYour neurosurgeon will help you make the right decision as far as that goes.\n\nFollowing 4 laminectomies at L4-L5 over 2 years time, I've since had two fusions in my cervical spine (c5-c6). The first was due to a herniated disk, which following my previous spinal surgeries was labelled due to "degenerative spinal disease with nerve root disorder."\nI had no problems following this surgery, and was able to resume most of my lifestyle. The pain that was there was gone after the surgery.\nHowever, an auto accident about 3 years later left the fusion cracked, requiring another one from the opposite side of my neck. I believe the neurosurgeon called it a "lucency" - they could see light thru the crack in my fusion on the x-ray.\n\nThe bottom line is this: the surgery helped. I just had bad luck and needed it again. I am mobile, I am active, and I do get around fine now -- but I have an increased pain level beyond comprehension of most people on a daily basis.\nBut as to your question, what will a neurosurgeon do for you? Help you decide if surgery is the right choice for you or not.\nMy recommendation? Try phyical therapy first. Surgery should be your last option. Once you have your spine operated on, there's a good chance you'll need it again someday.\nDiscuss your questions and fears beforehand as well. Your neurosurgeon will answer any of your questions beforehand.\n\nAnd if you do have the operation, good luck to you. I suggest a bone graph out of your hip rather than using bone transplant from a cadaver. The increased pain in your hip is temporary, and it significantly reduces the chance for the fused bone to be rejected.

The surgical procedure exists and it involves opening the leg,  breaking the bone in certain places, and inserting a rod inside so the bone can lengthen along it (All this done under surgical conditions by the way!). After the surgery, the patient would be under a lot of pain and would not be able to walk for a while. You can imagine why! After a length of time, the leg and bone is opened up again, and the rod is removed.\n\nIt is also very risky and irreversible, because in some cases the bone does not lengthen , and the patient is left a cripple. Ask your doctor, for more and proper info.\n\nGattaca is a great movie, one of my favorite movies, and inspires people to never give up on hope and dreams.

I was sent for acupuncture for nerve damage, and it did not work for me, however, there were people in the waiting room of the doctor's office that swore it had improved their condition.  It was not painful or even uncomfortable to have done.  In fact, the needles are so fine, you can't even feel them.  I say go for it.  If it works, it will be an simple solution to your problem.  If it doesn't work, you can always try something else.

You had better trust a vascular surgeon. Accupuncture has no answer for you.

Pins and needles are often mistaken as a circulatory problem but is generally not. When you hit your "funny bone" that is a similar feeling and that is a nerve you have hit. Sitting in one position like on a toilet bowl is a common time to get leg numbness. This generally occurs because of pressure on the sciatic nerve in the buttock. There is are less likely alternatives and some people do have conditions that predispose them to getting compression neuropathy. \n\nYour legs won't fall off from chronic compression neuropathy but you do run the risk of it become persistent, ie, one day the pins and needles may not go away. Get a cushion and don't cross your legs.
