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.

Anyways I would listen to my surgeon, but he spent all of about 5 minutes looking at the xray and giving me advice.
It might be to your benefit to get a second opinion to either confirm or question your surgeon's advice if you haven't already done so. Many docs have seen certain injuries so many times that their advice might seem cursory but is instead rooted in experience.
