Sat for long time, now feeling tingly line constantly at my back... feels like something wriggles. Any ideas?


Question:
I was sitting for a long time and then went biking to refresh. It feels as if something is wriggling. It's just my lower left back, it tingles... what do you think it is?

Answers:
You pinched a nerve and it's not very happy with you right now. Seriously, if it continues or is accompanied by pain and/or numbness go see a doctor. For now, try to avoid sitting for long periods of time. Think about it you were sitting then you did more sitting while riding your bike. Don't do that, go for a walk instead. You may also benefit from getting off your feet for a bit. Lay down with your legs elevated (pillow under your knees) to take the pressure off of your hips and lower back.
Well known fact, men who bicycle constantly often have problems with penile numbness due to the constant pressure of the bicycle seat. Lots of nerve ending being crushed when we sit for too long.
Your sciatic nerve has pressure on it.
