Foam Roller Muscle

Numbness in Quad Muscle?

Hi – I’ve been doing more cycling mileage than normal over the past few weeks and have noticed that my left quad has gone numb. I’ve also been doing some foam roller work on it – and while it seems to be looser, the muscles are still numb. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this or what the cure may be?

Thanks!!!!

Could be lumbar problem, but sounds more like Meralgia paresthetica (lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment) due to cycling
