    Take care!
    That's possible, since the first doctor said it looked like something that had been there for awhile.

    I'm hoping it's something very simple, easily fixed, and will end this constant tingling and semi numbness I have in my arms.

    Gee Snap, I'm so sorry to hear this. If it is something that has been there for a while, maybe it is just creating symptoms now because bone growth at the fx site is forming a spur, or normal arthritic changes are making the fx symptomatic and pressure is being created on the cervical nerves which go to your arm. At least you can now get a diagnosis and treatment.

    Wishing you all the best.

    I knew that AV order was too much for one mere mortal !

    Seriously, I'm glad they found it and can now focus on the solution. Hang in there, and take care of yourself. I'm sure in no time you'll be back on the bike. (Keeping you in my prayers.)
