Default My Archery Days Could

Be over.

Been having pain from just below my right ear all the way down through my right shoulder into my right lower arm.

The pain finally got to me so I went to the Doctors, after doing a range of motion tests he tells me it looks like I have a herniated (sp) disk in my neckand put me on some muscle relaxants, pain meds and anti inflam meds plus some physio therapy.

If all is no better in a week or 2 I will have to go see a surgeon and have my neck fused. The Doc said I can all but kiss archery good bye if they have to do fusion as I wont be able to turn my head[:@]

I knew all those years of quick head turning to look at lovely young ladies was going to get me[8D]

Russ,
That's terrible to hear. Icertainly hope you don't have to have the surgery. Keep us posted on how it goes.

I would get a second opinion before doing the fused disc thing. That's a last resort.
