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.

Thanks for all the replies. It's been broken for two years. It's instable only moved to a phase 1 I think. Anyways I would listen to my surgeon, but he spent all of about 5 minutes looking at the xray and giving me advice. I go to physical theorpy the 15th so they should be able to help me with stretching as I'm very stiff, again thanks for the help I appreciate it.
