The cutaneous nerve of the cat's thigh is called the femoral nerve. This nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the thigh and leg in cats.
The Posterior Femoral Cutaneous Nerve serves the posterior aspect of the thigh.
The major nerves that serve the anterior thigh are the femoral nerve and the obturator nerve. The femoral nerve innervates the quadriceps muscles, while the obturator nerve innervates the adductor muscles of the thigh.
The nerve outside of the thigh is the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, also known as the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. It provides sensory innervation to the skin on the outer part of the thigh. Injury or compression of this nerve can result in a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which causes pain, tingling, or numbness in the outer thigh.
The posterior side of the thigh, leg, and foot are served by the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve.
Both supply to the scrotum in males, but the genitofemoral supplies to the anterior surface of the thigh while the illoinguinal nerve supplies the superior medial aspect of thigh.
Groin pulling may be due to misalignment of pelvis or muscle tightness of anterior thigh muscles (quadriceps, adductors) Thigh numbness: Front of thigh: Irritation of the L2 or L3 spinal nerve by inflammation in/around nerves. After surgery can linger for several months to indefinitely. Tight quadriceps and/or adductors can also cause numbness. Back of thigh: As above, but L4, L5 or S1 nerve irritation.
the posterior femoral nerve.
sciatic
I had the same surgery ten years ago and there are still areas on my right thigh (surface) that have no feeling. My mom had similar results after her hysterectomy. Nerve damage is what I was told.
Sciatica causes pain in the left side of the thigh due to compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. This compression can be a result of a herniated disc, bone spur, or narrowing of the spine, leading to shooting pain, tingling, or numbness along the nerve pathway. Treatment typically involves physical therapy, pain management, or in severe cases, surgery.
Many do, but the sciatic nerve is the largest.
