"Numb-Leg" in a CrossFit Athlete: A Case Presentation.
Participation in CrossFit athletics and Olympic-style lifting by the general populace has rapidly increased in the last 10 years. Such athletic engagement poses unique, inadequately defined risks to the participant. We describe the case of a 36-year-old man who presented to an outpatient sports medicine clinic with 6 weeks of numbness and tingling in the lateral right proximal thigh. After thorough examination and electromyographic testing, he was found to have a lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy caused by performing supine gluteal bridges with a weighted barbell resting across his anterior thighs. His case exemplifies the unique exercise demands and injury risks of CrossFit-style exercise. Sports medicine providers should be familiar with both trends in sports/fitness participation and the associated unique risks that such sports pose, so as to adequately counsel patients on safety of participation and to correctly identify the cause of injury when evaluating patients in the clinical setting.
