how to stop crotch numbness when sitting with pants/shorts?
i'm in a Situation right now i swear. every time i sit while wearing pants (in my wheelchair or otherwise) i notice my crotch gets extremely numb and tingly and painful. i do not think this is an issue of my chair or cushion because it happens whenever i sit anywhere while wearing pants. unfortunately i cannot just be pantsless because it is socially unacceptable. i have even tried adaptive pants and i still have this problem. i think it might have something to do with the way most pants have a crotch seam in the gusset area, but even when i seam ripped the crotch of a pair of pants and added in a wide gusset i still had the issue. doesn't matter the material or style of pants. i always have this issue. has anyone else experienced this? is there anything i can do?
i am unfortunately cursed with... generous skin down there, so to speak, and i think this might be the main cause? i've talked to my ATP about it too and genuinely that's the only thing we could come up with since my issue seems to be present regardless of other clothing related factors. all i can say is that it only doesn't happen when i sit nude or only in underwear. i do have to get wide gusset underwear for similar reasons. but i genuinely don't know what i can do about it. i know there are surgeries to reduce excess skin down there but it's considered plastic surgery as far as i know and i cannot afford that lol. i wish insurance would pay but i don't know if "my meat curtains hurt really bad and go numb when i sit" would be considered an actual medical reason 😭 genuinely help me because i don't know what to do 😭 thanks
