This is not a gym injury and I'm not sure it negatively affects anything in the gym.
I work for local government, and until i got a truck to works out of 3 weeks ago I've been working out of a 2007 Malibu since 2013.
I had a habit of resting my leg against the door, the handle to be exact, and over time the constant pressure against my leg has made it permanently numb. The numbness amount fluctuates and recently my masseuse told me the quad feels very hot and inflamed. I figured transferring to the truck would have made it better. I've never really spent much time driving cars until now.
Ive iced it only twice, both times while standing. Im not sure if its because I'm standing but it was somewhat painful. More so than without ice.
I plan to try more ice and maybe some heating pad.
My question is, has anyone had anything similar happen? If so, I'd you recover? What did you do?
Here's my doctor dilemma- If i report it at work then the incompetent government is going to F sh!t up. I have two buddies out on workmanship comp. one hurt his back in March. He had surgery LAST WEEK. The other hurt his ankle. They didn't x-ray it on the first visit. They just said go home and rest for two weeks and let us know how it feels. Two weeks later and it still hurts so they x-ray, then say do rehab for two weeks and come back for an MRI if its not better. This week it wasn't better, so he went in for an MRI. They did nothing and sent him home for two weeks again. That's 6 weeks with not work, and they aren't doing anything to fix the issue.
I cant do that. Im in a good position with my job and I don't want time off and I don't want a government "fix".
If i go to my personal doc, which i may likely do anyway, then if its something permanent or serious i cannot turn around and get help from my job. Procedure requires that i use the city's process/doctor.
Anyway, i included this info before the first commenter says "go to the doctor".
