I have to try to keep going to the gym. As it is with the winter I'm getting flabby. Mabe I'll just do cardio for a few weeks.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-26705035496072553202014-03-01T20:01:17.370-05:002014-03-01T20:01:17.370-05:00Manny, I tried for many months just waiting it out...Manny, I tried for many months just waiting it out, and it only got worse. I go to a trusted chiropractor, and it does help. I was getting electric stim, small adjustments and gentle traction. I am on a couple week break right now, and carefully beginning to work out again. To simulate traction, I stand bent over, let my head and arms hang as relaxed as possible. Sometimes I lock my hands behind my head to add a little more gentle pull. sometimes I roll up a heating pad behind my neck while I read.<br />If you have a pinched nerve, it can take some doing to get the tightened muscles around it to relax and some intervention to get the nerve released.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801517556954327024.post-78100266354507902282014-03-01T10:53:40.331-05:002014-03-01T10:53:40.331-05:00Good luck on the pinched nerve.

Then last Thursday while at the gym I felt it pop and now it's really hurting full time. I don't know if I should go to a doctor or not, but I have no idea what they can do about it.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.com
