What Causes Burning Sensation And Numbness In Thigh While Using CPAP Mask?

Yes I have been wearing a CPAP mask for a little over 3 years now. I have developed a strange sensation in my right thigh (outer and top) in the way of a burning sensation and numbness after I put my mask on. I ve tried two different masks now and with the same results. What is the cause of this?

I can assure you that this mask is not related to nerve sensation. I would recommend you to start methylcobal and check your neurology status. Masks never causes such symptoms.
thanks
