Hi,
I was out training today, and after about 50 mins at 35kph, my right leg became numb with 'pins & needles'.
I have no idea what caused this, it has never happened before!
If anyone can spread any light on why this happened it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
I'll venture a guess and say it could be a pinched nerve in the back.
Get an X-Ray to see if you have a bulging disk . I have degenerative disk diease L4 and L5 . No heavy lifting 25 lbs, Golf , running . Lite stretching
Good Luck
Joe
As well as the above, it could be that you were sitting too hard on your sciatic nerve and putting pressure on it where it travels under the gluteal muscles. This should get better within 30 minutes or so of taking the pressure off and will not happen off your bike.
If you have back pain and get numbness both on & off the bike, see above postings.
i haven't had any problems since so i think that i was probably sitting on a nerve.
Thanks for all the help
