Trapped nerve

Hello everyone,

I believe I have a trapped nerve in my left leg. It’s been very painful when walking. When I run it hurts at bit at the start but then eases off. Has anyone else suffered from this. I am going to the doctors about this but I don’t want him to tell me to stop running. Any suggestions in untrapping the nerve. Feeling very frustrated now.

Sorry to hear you have some pain.

As this is not a medically overseen forum it would be inappropriate to comment and guess what the issue is. Best thing is to see your GP, or a sports physio .

Hope it heals soon .
