[QUOTE="Fred T, post: 1340884, member: 22413"] [B]I sent this out to my buddies a few days ago:[/B] last Monday when working at my desk an unmistakable pain emerged when I looked up at the clock. It was exactly like a pinched nerve I remember from 2005 when I ended up having neck surgery, but not nearly as severe as back then. I can still move my head easily side to side and pretty much up and down but I occasionally get a "spike of pain" and "tingling" in my right hand when I move it into the "Sweet spot" I immediately became depressed and tried things to loosen the shoulder up including massage therapy, stretching, flexural and Aleve.. As of today the problem remains and for now I cannot ride until I get it confirmed, it was very uncomfortable last Tuesday when I rode as I cannot hold my head up comfortably when I stand. So I am depressed and frustrated and if you have called me this week and I've acted a little unsocial this is the reason. I'm sorry. My hopes are that I've caught it very early and possibly I can have some treatments that are less critical than surgery and possibly recover in a month or two. Worst case is that I am out for the entire season and will need a full year to recover again. I guess I need to see if a Leatt Brace will fit me if I get back on a bike. It's driving me crazy until I know exactly what is going on and what can be done about it. [B]END OF E MAIL[/B] [I]So today I went to my Dr and we feel at this time that we can do conserviative treatment and possibly not have surgery, but time will tell. I had x rays done and looked at them my self but I am no radiologist. I know that things are not as bad as before and feel that in the past 2 days I have made some progress but not enough to make conclusive decisions that i will be Ok yet. I am suing a massage bed designed to stretch out and realign the spine and it seems to be helping, if it works I will buy one and have it at home. (google MIGUN) I also have had massage theropy and will start PT Thursday for 3 weeks to give it a go. My Leatt Brace will be here by Friday, and i will never set on a bike with out one again. So maybe I'll be Ok and maybe this won;'t work but it's worth a try because if I do have surgery I'm out for the entire season and will take all of next season to recover. I ain't beat yet but I may have to re think things for the future. And I was just getting to know my new 2 hunny too. :think: [/I] [/QUOTE]
