Femoral Nerve Neuropathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Femoral nerve neuropathy is a disorder of the nerve that runs along the front of the thigh and takes part in the movement and sensation of the leg. When this nerve is damaged or compressed, discomfort and weakness may appear in the limb.
Common symptoms: weakness in extending the knee or climbing stairs, a feeling that the leg gives way, numbness or tingling in the thigh and the inner side of the leg.
Common causes: prolonged compressions, injuries, certain procedures in the area, or conditions that affect the nerves.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the one who evaluates the nerve's function; the general practitioner can guide the initial visit and the emergency physician handles cases of sudden onset. If the weakness or numbness of the leg does not improve, it is advisable to seek a professional evaluation.
