Hi. 21 Male out of California here. I fractured my lowest vertibra which leads to some leg numbness. Excersize has been helping to lower it, two things I can do now are hockey and I'm trying to swim for excersize but am having trouble. I started doing 1hr a day of freestyle, but the numbness in my legs can last for the entire next day. I'm looking for a swim stroke that is entirely arms. I've tried those leg pad things they never seem to be comfortable, do I put the larger side towards the surface or underwater? And if anyone has had surgery for sciate nerve I'd love to hear about it, I want to get back into soccer and seems near impossible :/. Well thanks for any help.
Pull bouys hurt my back, I never use them, or almost never. I would avoid fly and breaststroke for sure, back and free might help, keep your strokes nice and long and make sure when you breathe you rotate your body and don't injure your neck. Also I would advise against using a kickboard, because it very well may strain your back.
Just my :2cents:
