Hi,
I'm having problems with numbness and loss of power in my left leg when cycling and have self-diagnosed it (after reading many posts and a few articles) to either piriformis syndrome or kinked iliac artery - the symptoms really seem to fit the bill). No symptoms from running, but it also happens (to a much lesser degree) after extended periods seated.
Thing is, where do I go from here to get a more definitive answer? What kind of professional should I go and see?
I'm based in the UK (in Bath, which happens to have a university and sports centre with a large sports staff) - should I investigate them? Or see my GP?
I'd really like to get it sorted as I feel it's holding me back in my (mainly triathlon) training and racing.
Cheers,
Andy
