Neuropathy and Sciatica history

[butterfly2014 128]

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?

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.

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!
