Numbness and pins and needles in my upper right leg?
Throughout the day a large patch of skin on the outer side of my right thigh is somewhat numb and odd feeling, but in the night when I'm laying down its tingly and pins and needles like it asleep. The prickliness sometimes turns to a burning pain which wakes me up in the night a few times a week.
Any thoughts? Pinched nerve maybe?

You can have something being pinched in your lower back area and not even know it but it can transfer pain to another part of the body that tells you about it. Here is how to release the muscles involved:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
That will help to release the lower back and that may be all that is needed.
