butterfly2014 128 Posted February 24, 2014 I have 2 herniated discs that are pressing against my nerves causing neuropathy and pinched nerve pain on my legs. I am wondering if anyone had the same thing and after surgery the pain went away or got relief? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LumpySpacePrincess 594 Posted February 25, 2014 I have neuropathy in in my upper left leg (outside, not thigh area...just one weird strip of muscle) as a result of an epidural and spinal during the birth of my son 8 years ago. The muscle feels numb and achey at the same time and is very sensitive to the touch. The one thing I have found that helps more than anything is cycling. Its low-impact on the joints but seems to work the muscle groups in a way that kicks everything back to life. I have had sciatica in that leg before as well, and the cycling helped then as well. When the sciatica flares up and I can't climb up on a normal bike, I use a cheap little set of pedals you put on the floor and sit on your couch or a dining chair to use. You don't even have to cycle fast, but the more tension the better for this. 1 butterfly2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfly2014 128 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks a bunch for sharing Lumpy...I am actually going to start cycling on Friday and hope it helps. I can't wait to do surgery and get some relief. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
