About three weeks ago my left hand went numb and I was having shooting violent pain running down my arm. As you may guess my wife was a bit worried. I went to the doctor and they took an x-ray of my neck. This lead to steroids' and anti-inflammatory meds. No luck. I've since gotten an MRI of my neck and am waiting for the Dr. appt to tell my how I messed my neck up. Most likely I have some type of bulged disc pinching a major nerve going down my arm into my hand. So I'm still recording an all but I may have a heat pad on my neck or moving my arm weirdly through the viewing. I'm now on two medications Gabapentin (this helps with nerves) and Hydrocodone (pain). They give me about 60% relief of the symptoms. Hopefully they will prescribe some PT and get me all fixed up. Anyway, I just wanted all my fans to know what's going on. When the meds wear off the pain is crazy bad but as long as I take them in a timely manner I'm pretty good. So moral of the story. Don't dream about being attacked by gummy bear pirates. You may injure your neck during the intense battle then ensues.

Adding my sympathy along with get well soon wishes. Nerve pain is the pits, no matter the root cause. Hope the mix of meds and PT gets you mended and feeling your best again in due time.
