Hi, I have what I suspect is a pinched nerve in my left leg. Dull aching pain with mild numbness and tingling for the past 4-5 days that I first noticed while walking on the treadmill.
Is lifting weights advised while dealing with this? I tolerated tempo squats Sunday and would like to deadlift, etc tomorrow. However, concerned this may apply pressure making this worse or prolonged.
Thanks
Sorry to hear you’re in pain, Chase. I’m not sure I feel comfortable telling you it’s okay to lift without having more information, follow-up, and so on.
That said, if I could do tempo squats pain/symptom free, I’d probably be game to try some sort of hinge exercise to see how i did what that. That’s about the best I can do from here without knowing more.
The specifics of the program going forward will likely need adjustment. If you feel comfortable doing this yourself, great! If you’d like some help, our pain and rehab team is available.
Heal up soon and Happy Holidays!
