Hello, I seem to have the same feeling on my upper right thigh and groin. I also feel it during sleep when it is is painful and burning. Walking and sitting makes it worse. Did you have an X-ray or just a check up?Be careful not to cinch your pack's waist strap too tight. I am tall and thin with bony hips. I kept my backpack's waist belt tight to carry the weight there rather than on my shoulders. (My pack weighed somewhere between 15-20 pounds (7-9 kg), and I weigh 130 lb.) In Leon, I began to notice tingling in skin on outside rt. thigh. Over time, it became a burning sensation, painful, numb, tingling, etc. on and off, even sometimes when I wasn't wearing my pack. I walked in Sept. 2014. It's now six months later and I still have a numb section on my thigh. My doctor says it could be permanent, likely due toMeralgia paraesthetica from a pinched nerve in the front of my pelvic area. Not a big deal, but a bit disconcerting.
So, do I understand that my 'chubbiness' might have an upside for once!!Thank you for pointing this out. I'm also very thin and wondered about this as I have to really tighten my waistband to get my pack to sit properly. Hope it the effects wears off for you soon

With all do respect but you did not notice a little uncomfortable while walking?
Zzotte
Yes, absolutely.
I make adjustments while walking - loosen belt, take more weight on my shoulders, reduce the weight in backpack. The alternative of not walking Caminos is not an option, or at least not a good option. But I will reassess every year. I also have genetic induced very high cholesterol that my walking helps control. So, damn if you do, damn if you don't, eh.
All the best,
Eric
You maybe a perfect candidate for a cart I saw a Swedish guy pulling
