Hi Ladies,
I started getting numbness in a particular area of my upper leg last season. Once my season was over and I wasn't riding as frequently, feeling started to come back. However, after being on my bike only once since last fall, I can already start to feel (well, not feel, technically) the area getting numb.
The area I am referring to is not quite my right leg, but not quite my crotch area, either. It is right in that "crease" where the leg meets the crotch....basically where the side edge of ladies underwear is. The numb area spans about a two inch diameter around that.
Additionally, towards the end of last season when there was less than no feeling, I also started feeling a pinching sensation when I stretched my right leg out in stretches similar to side splits, and also when I was on long rides. However, due to not being able to feel the skin in that area anyway, I'm thinking the pinching pain may have been worse than what I could feel.
Anyone experience this, or think it can lead to permanent nerve damage?
