Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Happily married for some time......5 great kids that overachieve in whatever they choose to do.

Decided to go in and see what is going on with my neck and arm. My left arm has been hurting and goes numb once in a while. I have a slipped disk in my spine that is pinching a nerve that runs along the back and to the arm. Typically it shows up as neck pain. Hoping to recover quickly from this and get back to running. I fell asleep in a meeting and my head was just dangling straight down and I think that aggravated it some. I had been feeling like it was on the brink of something for a couple of weeks now, but only recently did it do my in. Ice and naproxen have been my diet as of late.

Hope it goes away quickly, you should know in a day or so if it is going to linger. I kind of think you will be OK, but what do I know?

Oh man... I've gone through this before. It seems, with me, that it goes away as quickly as it comes on. I wonder if a chiropractor might help?

Sorry, but I had to laugh about falling asleep in a meeting. Did they at least dab the drool off your chin?

Man, I hope you can recover quickly from the pinched nerve - sounds painful.

So sorry! What did the doc say? I hope things are healing up!
