despair: cerv disc herniation

[JULSCARVER]

During the middle of STS meso cycle 2 (doing it for the 3rd time cuz I love it) I developed left rhomboid pain. Then I started with numbness in my index and 3rd fingers. I have noticeable weakness of my tricep; can't even lift a 2lb weight in an overhead extension. I am so sad.. seeing my doc, probably going to get an MRI. Really don't want surgery, but I hate not weight lifting.
Thanks for letting me vent to whomever reads this. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated

I am SO sorry about this. One of my girlfriends I ride with had something similiar but lower on the spine and it affected her foot. It would become numb. She had surgery but it didn't help her completely and she wishes now she would have waited and done more with other methods.

Anyway, I'm sure you have good sources, but check this one site out. Cervical Herniated Disc Symptoms and Treatment Options

Hope you get through this fast.

JULS: I am so sorry and so understand!!! Even now i have to type w/ one hand because i broke my shoulder/rt arm almost 2 wks ago and the doc says no exercise NOTHING but sitting in a recliner for a while...when I broke it I was in Meso 3, only had 9 disks to go and was really beginnng to love the results.... Hang in there...I KNOW IT'S TOUGH! I will pray for you (and me)
