I'm hoping someone it out there that has had the same experience--I know bodies differ, but i'm sure there's an average recovery time--and it would be helpful to know what I'm looking at. 6 weeks? 8 weeks?
It's sure hard not to be discouraged.
Please do NOT get on that saddle. If I were your doctor (and that's who I think you should be talking to) I'd tell you to swim and run until you get your feeling back. IF you get it back. meanwhile, I suggest you go and get a professional fit, because if a "good" saddle has the same effect, it might also be the way you are sitting on it. Define good saddle. define saddle,
I'm curious what you've tried.
