Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency terminated thousands of experienced public health professionals in an April Fools’ Day massacre. We’re all about to pay the price.
So up until Tuesday I was driving and hour into work and, due to traffic, my way back would be minimum an hour and a half, but sometimes up to 3 hours if everything is fucked. I had considered that I might have a similar issue, mostly from not having cruise control and how I position my leg/foot while driving on the highway. Haven’t had a chance to look at the videos yet, but I suspect that they’re either the same, or very similar, exercises that my physio has had me doing.
I’ve not been at it long, so I’ll give it time to cook. And, as of Tuesday I’ve switched depot, so my commute is now a 15min bus ride, with a ~5mins walk on either side of it, so hopefully that’ll help too…
So what my physio had said is that that nerve can get trapped/damaged by having your heel pointed in and toes out. And would be advisable to keep your heel as close to the outside of the foot well and your toes pointed in to operate the pedals. 🤷 I’m just a mason who never finished highschool. Idfk if that’s legit or not. She’s like…26, but went to school for physiotherapy, so I guess she probably knows better than me.
This…fuck…my DUDE!

Good luck! I always wondered if driving was a factor as it was only on my right side and driving requires a surprising amount of iliopsoas activity.
