Don't fu@k around with it. Get it checked out. The longer you go, the more chance of serious permanent damage.

I would say call around to the docs and if you dont have insurance they will give you a price here it usually costs around 100.00 and they have payment plans that you can work out with the doc.......you should really have it checked out it could be worse than what you think and feel........you never know......

The doctor will want you to have a nerve conduction test done. They basically hook electrodes up to your leg and send a harmless electric shock to different areas of your leg to test the nerves in the area. Once they verify the nerves that are damaged, he will offer to have a steroid injected in your groin area or knee area subcutaneously. The steroid will work its way down and help with any inflamed nerve endings, which will help with any pain or tingling. You may have to do this every three to six months. The other route would be to give you neurontin (medication used to help with peripheral neuropathy) which is pain/tingling. Or if its not a big issue for you, just live with it. Nerves don't normally regenerate when damaged. I have had an area on my outer thigh that is basically numb and flares up every so often with pain/tingling. The main nerve that travels through the pelvis got pinched at some point in my younger years and I just learned to live with it. Sucks!
