Been dealing with stiff neck and shoulder pain for a while now. Last week started to get numbness in my thumb and forearm, so much for ignoring something and having it go away!
Upside, my boss came into work today (I was supposed to be working alone this morning), I call my Doctor's office and they had a cancellation and asked if I could be there in 20 minutes, and since my boss was there, I could. I got into the doctor's office and got to see the doctor promptly! He feels that it is a pinched nerve in my neck. He sent me up the street to the hospital for x-rays and I was in and out of there in 20 minutes. So inside of 2 hours I was able to see the doctor, get x-rays, and grab lunch before going back to work!
Now I have to do some physical therapy because of my limited range of motion with my neck.
I'm not used to having issues, the last time I had to see the doctor for anything other than a physical or blood tests was about 25 years ago, I had a small tumor removed from my toe, LOL.
Almost 40 and I'm starting to fall apart!
