Pain in right leg while driving

[LN106G]

Proven ito, may fat wallet full of receipts, calling cards and a 50-peso bill really makes my right leg numb. From then on, I remove the wallet before I drive .[/QUOTE]


This is called the "Fat Wallet Syndrome" in Orthopedics. I havent owned a RAV4 or a Forester but I suspect their seating position ergonomics is different resulting to your Sciatica (numbness on your R leg)...

The beer might also help ease the pain, just dont take it while driving or before driving. Maybe when you get home na.

Update - I think I've settled on a seating position. Mostly no pain this week, except tonight due to godforsaken traffic in McKinley.

Ano ang naging prepared setting mo Mam, straight or inclined yung sandalan, mataas/mababa, mas malapit/malayo sa manibela?

Seat height: a few notches below the highest
Seat position: closer to manibela, with back (and butt ) plastered to sandalan which is straight. although I'm thinking of reclining it just a little bit this coming week. yung right leg ko, may slight bend, and upper leg is mostly supported by seat cushion.

Iniisip ko nga if I should experiment with lower seat + recline + a bit farther from manibela for a few days this coming week just so I can confirm that this was really the cause of the discomfort I was feeling.

Sa height, mataas din setting ko. Distance sa manibela, enough na hindi naman straight ang mga braso at hindi masyadong baluktot, pero sa sandalan mas prepared ko na naka-incline ng a few degrees. Pag long drive (more than 3hrs), nag a-adjust ako ng height at inclination para ma-reposition yung mga ngawit.

Finally, wala pa naman akong problema sa pamamanhid Mam, besides meron pala akong extra cushion na nakalagay sa seat ko.

I'm a new driver din. Learned with M/T and now driving AT. I noticed, my right ankle feels a little discomfort after about an hour of driving. I'll test your suggestions, however, is there an ideal and ergonomical seat? If yes, how should I know? Tnx! 😄
