Hip belt causing outer-thigh numbness on long hikes…

Hip belt causing outer-thigh numbness on long hikes — anyone solved this?
I’ve had this happen with a couple of different packs over the years. After a few hours hiking with a loaded pack, I start getting numbness/nerve-type discomfort down the outside of my left thigh. If I’m hiking for days, it can last for weeks after the hike.
My body type is more on the lean side so the bones don’t have a lot of padding. I’ve tried different packs and positions so I’m feeling that it’s an anatomy issue rather than the fit, but has anyone had this issue and successfully fixed it with belt position, a lumbar pad, different padding, changing belt tension, or anything else?
