Hey guys, seccond post due to injury... got practically rid of jumper's knee, but somebody up there seems to NOT want me back in action :/ A week ago I had a super-heavy and super-awesome back-training session in my gym... I did o.a.p training, rows, and other excercises, while pulling my ass off in the weight department... Everything went great then, up until i felt a pulling sensation in my shoulder... I kinda ignored it and went home as i was having cervical pain on and off for 2-3 months before this but... Later that night? I couldn't find a position to sleep. It was PAIN at its highest level. A pain that radiated from my neck and cramped my trapezius, then went to the back of my right shoulder and pulled up to my upper forearm... 2 hours of scarce sleep later, it was even worse, as i had lost 80% of my right arm strength, being unable to raise a bottle of water to drink successfully. My crushing grip remained strong, everything else, had collapsed. I went to my physio who did extensive mobilisation and massage (aouch) and i got slightly better, but the root of the problem (cervical pain) and the shoulder pain, along with the inability to lift anything heavier than a glass of water remains... My physio believes it's Cervical Radiculopathy, probably due to a herniated disk and with my limited experience on the matter, i am very inclined to agree... I'll probably get an mri done asap, but, any ideas to, dunno, get back to where i was? Is osteopathy a legit way to help me get back? Some guys i know from the local oly weightlifting team suggested visiting a chiropractor... What's YOUR take on the matter? Thanks in advance everybody!
