Stupid injuries

Post by Sutter'sBeard »

I think I just hurt my back moving my chair forward to type. Bobbed my head forward and felt a sharp pain in my upper back and my right tricept went numb. Every time I move my head to the left, my right tricept goes numb again. Sound like a pinched nerve. Getting old really bites schlong.

That phantom "neck snap" that you described happens to me once in a while. About 1-2x per year, maybe more now, my head will just go into some random spasm and decide to violently jerk an inch or so in one direction, leaving me basically paralyzed from the neck up for a week. Anyone else know what I am talking about with that random and unintentional head movement that causes a minor neck injury? If so, why does that happen?

Sounds like "casting neck", the doctor's gonna tell you not to fish anymore. :wink:
