MCH Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I go for my MRI in the morning. Doctor thinks I may have a pinched nerve in my back from an injury I received while drawing back a friends bow. I've been having problems for the last month or so and recently I've started getting numb all over. My skin kind of feels like its asleep. And Sunday, after shooting for two hours.. ...my back started to burn. Hasn't stopped yet. Wish me luck guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThethirdI Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: Could be done shooting for the year..... I will send prayers your way bud. I had my MRI last Friday. I have two crushed discs in my neck from a fight when I was 20. It has taken 12 years to cause me trouble but now I'm looking at surgery. I tried to shoot my bow the other day and it was pretty hopeless. Take care and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss of sensation has me a little scared but the doc said its common with pinched nerves. I could still pull back a bow right now, but my aim would be a little shaky. I've got a tournament Saturday, but the doc has ruled that out. Said I could only if I didn't want to get better. So I'm looking forward to bow season. Hopefully, I'll be shooting 3-D by August.

VermontHunter Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: Could be done shooting for the year..... Good Luck MCH, I hope it's something that can be fixed with cortizone, or even better on it's own.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antlers21 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: Could be done shooting for the year..... I had pinched nerves in my neck last year, it started in june and I injured it trying to move a fallen tree and it just is feeling 100% this past month. I hunted and shot when I could but my fingers kept going numb and I couldn't feel my triger on my release. It sucked but with muscle relaxors and therapy it is all better. Hope yours goes well.

MCH Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Re: Could be done shooting for the year..... UPDATE MRI came back clean. Doc wants to send me to a neurologist. Turned him down, though. I think I'll just rehab a little bit myself. Lay off shooting for two weeks or so and keep heat on it at night and see if the pain goes away. Thanks for all the support.
