I have seen a couple of sources recommending the use of thigh support to relieve sciatica symptoms of leg numbness and that damnable pegleggin'... I have this same problem, but attribute it to my probable slipped disk. I think Seal Line makes a thigh support inflatable pillow for this. At any rate, I am curious just how this works to relieve these symptoms. Does it really work, and just how does it? Thanks!

I speculate it is distributing weight over a larger surface- less point loads. -- gabriel l romeu ± http://studiofurniture.com Ø http://journalphoto.org ± ± http://kayakoutfitting.org Ø http://furnituresociety.org ± *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
