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.

It almost goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, that gentle stretching esp. in large muscle groups in your legs should accompany any rehab that you do.
Amen Peter. I'mnot as religous as I should be about it but I'm doing more now that I am swimming, which is yet another good thing. Keep the hamstrings loose eases the pullin on your pelvis and lower back. Not a cure-all but a definite helper.

Soccer is a not a real sport :thhbbb:
