Hi Medhurst! Isn't that extraordinary!!! I still think that it's a compressed nerve, and I've really been attempting to not cross my legs - it's a hard habit to break and I still find myself in that position, but in the main I've been very good. It's not got much better though, and I've spoken to the occupational health nurse who is getting me an urgent appointment with the physio through work, so I don't have to pay for it thankfully now. I am seeing the nurse Tuesday morning too. She's very concerned about my symptoms though, and thinks I should have been sent straight to the Walton Neuro Centre.
I'm still a bit concerned as it's still all numb and not getting much better, but she did say that if it's a compression injury to the nerve it should get better within weeks, but I'm a bit nervous now.
I'd definitely speak to your GP, because it's still not good and definitely needs treatment to take the pressure off the nerve. It can lead to permanent damage and I already have an area of numbness on the top of my calf from my disc problems in 2001.
I want to be able to run again!
Let me know how it goes won't you?!
