K'lea16 daysDiagnosis: Bike seat up too high causing hyperextendion at neck and lower back. Winged and rotated scapular pressing on nerve causing numb fingers. Lower spine compensating causing mild lordosis and scoliosis causing muscle spasm in qualratus lumbourn, piriformus and a deep flexor along the spine. Reflection: Don't try to do so much all at once.details
walk116 daysFoot flop seems pretty much gone. Guess it just grew out. Other aches also eased. Still have soreness in hip, but run through that.details
OJ170 daysSort of petered out over the months...not completely disappeared but it's not noticeable when I run anymore.details
JamesBradshaw318 daysReally important to keep up regular strecthing in my particular case where my piriformis muscle was the culprit compressing my sciatic nerve. Consistant stretching helps lengthen the muscle and release the tension on the nerve and allow normal nerve function.details
