Slowly Improving

Symptoms receding. Numbness almost gone, but I can induce tingles by changing posture. Tricep getting stronger, but I still can't post on my left arm. Can't imagine a push-up. Only working out ~4hrs per week. Still can't jog or jump in place without inducing symptoms. Strangely enough my weight is still down a few pounds since the injury. Hopeful that I can return to the mats sometime in February.

    17 months! Wow. I started training only 20months ago. Can't imagine. Glad to hear you'll be back soon. Where do you train?

    So grateful you're hanging in there and healing! My husband (also a blue belt) herniated C6 over the holidays (lesson to self: don't try to help someone else invert! you will hurt them!) and has been on a similar trajectory. He's seeing a physical therapist, was seeing a chiropractic neurologist, and consulted a neurosurgeon. Scary stuff.

    Keep healing man :)

    Yikes Georgette. I feel for your husband. Hope he's back on the mats, or will be soon!
