What part of your spinal cord and/or nerve roots control the feeling in your outer thigh? I had sudden pain a year ago followed by constant chronic neuropathy, burning, stinging feelings, ongoing over a year now... MRI s showed only mild narrowing of the cervical spinal cord area, there is a possible annular tear at C6-7, could this cause loss of feeling in large area of my thigh? (knee to hip, middle of front to middle of back, outer thigh only, inner thigh unaffected)... any ideas??
