Isn't that what it sounds like?

this is EXACTLY the movement that causes me great sharp pain on both sides.
Would this mean my PN nerve is not gliding?
does this affect, or is affected directly by the PN nerve?

My understanding is that gliding exercises are recommended after PNE surgery -- I think if it causes you pain you want to avoid it because if the nerve is entrapped it's not going to glide easily and you could be causing a stretch injury.
