So I've got this weird thing that happens when I'm hiking with a pack on. The outside of my left quad will go numb while I'm hiking. As soon as I release my waist belt the feeling comes back, I've had this issue for quite a while and have just made a habit of stopping every 30 min or so and undoing my waist belt, letting the feeling come back, then taking off again.
I have played with adjusting my pack, and talked with kifaru on the phone and it doesn't sound like it is a pack adjustment issue, and I'm not over tightening my waist belt. I'm thinking I have something going on with my anatomy that is pinching a nerve or something to that affect.
I'm curious if anyone else has ever had this happen? If so is there anything you can do to stretch or strengthen the problem area to help with this issue? Have you just learned to live with it, or was there something you were able to do to get rid of it?
Thanks!
