Heads Up About Problem With Carrying Cell Phone in Front Pants Pocket
 

Just letting others know about tingling thigh syndrome or meralgia paresthetica.

Other things can cause this also, but the larger cell phones carried in front pants pocket can cause this.

Tingling feeling on surface of thigh kind of like numb feeling. Then pain when you walk and try to sleep.
Femoral nerve is aggravated by pressure of phone in pocket a lot.
Never had problem with my old smaller phone .
Hope this prevents you from dealing with this.

I carry 2 cell phones and frequently have one in each front pocket, especially when in air travel mode. Makes a pickpocket's job more difficult. Personal phone is in a leather phone wallet so I no longer use a traditional billfold.

Enuff pressure from a phone, to the hip and groin area, that can squash and damage these nerves????

That would be outside my comfort zone

I always have mine in my front pocket, and my other one has my wallet in it.

This is not unlike Sciatic Nerve issues caused by a wallet (or anything else) in the back pocket while driving. Fellow truck drivers have dealt with this issue for decades & the smart ones don't drive with their wallets in their back pockets any more. I also cured that issue with one of those gel seat cushions.

Back to the actual topic....I have been buying jeans from Tractor Supply over the last couple of years that have a 5TH pocket down a little lower on the right side. My cell phone fits nicely in it & puts no pressure on my thigh. I did not buy these jeans for that reason, but once I realized how good it fit in that pocket, I continued to purchase them. The fact that they are cheap also helped!:o

When I'm driving my phone is always in a cup holder or the console, paired to the radio via Bluetooth. Gotta have my music going!

In the Trans Ams I just stick it in the door panel pocket and let it play.

Very painful!

My old phone never gave me this problem.

New phone is 6.5" long and have carried in front pocket unless getting in truck or sitting down.

Doctor said anything like that can irritate your nerves.

Many articles online about different things that cause it.

Will look into different way to carry phone.

Where do you put it? Mine is always there . And yup I get exactly what he’s talking about hmmmm

I dint carry my wallet in my back pocket anymore because it messed up my back when I did. I’ll need back pack soon. But that’ll round my shoulder god I can’t win!!! :-)

I do, and have for as long as I've carried one. Wallet in the other front pocket. I've never carried much of anything more than a comb in my back pockets.

What do you mean my boy's can't swim...

I have a giant pone as well but she is getting old...eyeballing one of those Galaxy Folds...so small!

I have a pair of Dickies shorts that have that 5th pocket, it does work very well for carrying a phone. Out of the way but still easy to access. I believe their pants have the same feature.

LMAO!!!!

This reminds me of many years ago (Mid/Late 80's) when I was a Doorman/Bouncer at a very popular Cleveland area dance club, I wore a T-shirt that read...." I Shoot Blanks" :D

Dang ☢ radioactive giant pones...

Never have carried a phone in front pocket. Due to my carry have moved a ballistic type phone case from right side to left side of my belt, took some getting used to.

I also put that in the door panel pocket in the TAs. I hate when it digs into my hip.

I usually put mine on the seat or door pocket when driving. I use earbuds then also. Hands free operation.
