The neurologist I met today was awesome : ). Spent a lot of time with me and actually listened : ). He showed me the MRI images of my neck, and told me that I have two discs that are really bad. My spinal cord is also deformed a bit in those areas. Good news- he predicts no surgery since my symptoms have improved. He is sending me to do a nerve study and therapy since my hand is still numb at times. Bad news- He says dont lift ANYTHING. Weight training and running he says are a bad move. Elliptical, water aerobics, low impact is ok. Sigh- so training is on hold. His soapbox? He says he wants to murder all personal trainers lol. Yikes. He sees a lot of this Im sure. So the lesson is this: even though the exercise didnt cause my injury necessarily, I need to know my limits from now on. And Im here to tell u at 31...ITS NOT WORTH THE RISK. Treat your body kindly cause u only get one!
