Hi Dr. Bathla, I was wondering how you're supposed to determine if the pain is coming from your spine or your pelvic crest? Thanks!

Hey! I’m feeling some mild pms kinda cramps these days in my lower abdomin and back. Plus i feel like I’ve got a bit gassy too (which I’ve not been in my entire life like this, strange). Plus I’ve been nauseous from two to three days ( which is also strange bcs I only get nauseous when I’m on my period, but this time my period date is due and I’m having nausea before my period, this is really strange for me).
And the important thing is that, today I felt a burning sensations in my left thigh (left side and front). I googled it and I think now I’m suffering from Meralgia paresthetica.
Please could you please guide me about my all these symptoms?
Waiting for the reply.

Hi doctor, when I sit on a chair something develops on my thigh joint or groin area, i feel irritation and tingling thing which later develops into pain, and this pain goes directly to the lower right abdominal area and the inguinal region, i don't have problem while standing, but this issue occurs only when I sit, , can you please help me what could be the issue? Is it something to do with the maralgia peresthetica or tilted pelvis or psoas? Please help me 😭.
