So about a year ago i had a disc herniation in the neck (C7) that had a nerve root pinched and caused some SEVERE pain down my left arm. Went through my should, tricep, forearm and made 2 fingers numb. It was bad enough I went for the surgery first hand, which was luckily just making room around that nerve root. I was off pain meds 2 days after the surgery. Long story short I've been back at the weights for several months. Finally getting my numbers up again. But I'm now having reoccurring symptoms of that nerve. Not near as severe, but definitely noticeable. I've steered clear of my power lifting style since I'm assuming that's how it happened in the first place. P.s. My doc said I have no restrictions.
Is there anything I need to be avoiding or can do to prevent this from getting worse ? Thanks
