Anatomy:

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve emerges from lateral side of the psoas major muscle and crosses the ilacus muscle . Once the nerve passes under the inguinal ligament through the lacuna musculorum it runs over the sartorius muscle coursing to the lateral thigh where it divides into an anterior and a posterior branch. The lateral femoral cutaneus nerve entrapment is one of the most common moneuropathy of the lower limb, commonly known as Meralgia Paraesthetica. Its symptoms are strong pain and burning feeling in the lateral thigh.

Dr. Marcin Goczewski performs diagnostic block, nerve hydrodissection and steroid block only under ultrasound guidance, to ensure precise medicine injection and minimize the risk of complications. Indication to the procedure is a strong pain of lateral thigh that isn’t stopping after a conservative treatment.
