last weekend i did a series of bad things to my left ankle and shin area including getting it caught in a door, jamming it between a piece of plywood and a stepping stone while walking, and spending half the day squatted down ( i was building a workshop all weekend). by saturday night i had a stupid numb tingly feeling int he left side of my lower shin and into my foot and my leg ached pretty good.. tookme untill friday to realize that it wasnt going away and to the contrary, was getting worse. turns out i have a hair line fracture and a compressed nerve. FUN! :x

thansk Danny, workin on the bike as we speak :D ya weight loss helps, im down to 334 this morning, lol a whopping 6 pound loss in a week since i went on a mini diet ( which means just not neating BS drivethrough burgers and kicking up the diet soda not regular :x) , in shape im 300-305 so im heading back that direction.. i can still run a mile and do my normal 1 hour training sets so im not too bad off. the doctor said the reason i compressed the nerve is basically from muscle mass, putting all my weight on that left leg while squatted down gave the nerve no where to "run" and my leg muscles squished it, he said its like squeezing a water balloon in the middle, everything will squish out of the top or bottom only a nerve takes time to go back together and i may have this numb feeling for 6 months or more.
