i guess they say you should always try to stand or lie down when ever possible. Exercise damages the nerve because of the placement, if you ride a bike you are sitting right on the nerve practically if you run it can damage it as well just because of the position of the nerve.
To be honest i don’t feel like it is a pudedal nerve issue with me because of the fact i don’t feel any better after trying this therapy for 9 months, and my nerves actually got worse when i retested and my opinion is because i am not exercising the rest of my body is doing worse.
