I was wondering if anybody here knows ways of numbing the pain to get through a workout. I do cardio for 15 to 20 minutes before I start my leg workout. It helps but I can't do the exercise like the Leg Press that started the pain all together. The pains been coming and going, so I've been trying to learn methods on dealing with it through that time. It doesn't effect me as far as gains or progress. Let me tell you how it happened real quick. About 10 years ago I was to dumb to realize I was doing to heavy of a weight on the Leg Press. I was using good form and everything, but it still didn't matter. When the weight was coming down for the 5th rep. My ass came up just slightly and the weight compressed on against my sacrum. I felt a tinge but I worked through it and went home for the day. Next morning couldn't move my back and so forth went on with treatment pain killers cortisone, etc. The pain only travels from my sacrum down my leg to the calf. It comes back every once and awhile and when it does I would like to learn ways that you found out on dealing with it.
