Nerve pain in right quad doing split squats
I am a 27 y/o female and I’ve been training at home for about a year and a half with a break around the holidays.
No matter what weight I use I’ve always noticed my right quad will sting/burn/tingle when doing Bulgarian split squats.
I have been training in the gym for the last 3 weeks and am starting to notice it being bothered a bit while doing leg presses as well.
I do a side loaded split squats on the smith machine now so I can use the side of the machine for support. This offers some relief but I pushed myself this week and aggravated it pretty good.
My other leg is totally fine, no issues.
Has anyone had this experience before or know what I can do to fix it? I’m not sure if it is a sign that other parts of my body aren’t strong enough or if it’s a misalignment, poor form? I try to be super aware of my form.
I’ve had 4 kids in 5 years my 4th born 15 months ago.
