I guess this is what it's like to get old[&:]things start to wear out.[:@]

I had spinal fusion in my lumbar section in 1998 and really dont want to have to go under the knife again
Hopefully you wont have to go under the knife again, as many of the others you will be in our prayers....

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]
Wow man that sucks...

That's a tough one to bite. Maybe archery could still be done, but I'm sure you would have to modify your form and equipement.

Hang in there.

My dad had a lower back fusion too so I know what you are going through. Hopefully they can relieve the pain with stretching and the muscle relaxants.

I'm hoping for the best for you.

Always an x bow. Got to adapt. Hope things work out and you might just figure out a way to still use the bow. Them doc's are always like that.

Russ,

I hope things work out... That's a serious-enough situations I think I'd go get some different opinions as well before going under the knife if that could be the result.
