Cervical spin injections

[Catrin]

Thanks for the update. Was thinking of you today. Sounds like you're on the right track with the right health care pros. Take it easy for a few days and let the injection do its thing.

The New Years PT sounds like a great plan, so long as they feel you can wait. And really, it only a few weeks away

Take care of yourself. Happy couch time.

I am sure the specialist would prefer I didn't wait, but the PT does expect to get paid...I do know that he wants me to work on my upper back extensors, so I can ask my trainer about that and start work before then. I can't believe there is a muscle group in my body we haven't worked on in the last two years but the doctor said that these don't normally get a lot of attention in normal conditioning.

I would like to do my usual Wed weights and ArcTrainer tonight, but it would probably be best to take one more day off and just start back with spinning class tomorrow night...I do have my stuff with me but you have a good point.

I have arthritis in my cervical spine and did the PT and have kept up on the exercises. It has made a big difference in my comfort, especially on the bike for long distances.

This is good to know, thank you. I do feel better now that I know I don't have real nerve impingement and the numbness/tingling in my right arm is referred pain from the arthritis. That is what really had me concerned, especially when it started from my right jaw and went all the way down to my finger tips Thankfully this wasn't on the LEFT side...
