Maybe a cause...

After this weekend's poor performance resulting in even more "numbing" of my leg...I began to research some causes. Thanks to much info and input from fellow team members...I have compiled a list of some doctors to check out. Lets hope someone can shed some light on my situation...

Some of the best info has been from Tom at Atlantic Cyclery...who, as he describes, has been getting the same sensations in his leg...although for a much longer time. He has attributed his pain to External Iliac artery endofibrosis...a condition that seems to only affect cyclists...

I had briefly read about this a few months back...as Bobby Lea of Toyota United had undergone surgery to correct an artery that distributes blood to the leg. It sounded interesting at the time...but I was still convinced my leg issues were just cramps...

And they still might be...my arteries may be working just fine...and perhaps my problem is due to something else. Buuut, I have switched saddles...to no avail. So even if the Aspide was pinching something to restrict bloodflow...it should have been corrected by now...

Time will tell...I have an appointment Friday...
