My entire left side feels off... My left arm being the worse. Cant barely hold a dumbell, grip gives out. Left arm is constantly in pain but what feels like I suppose nerve pain.
Pulled heavy deads about 2 weeks ago after fairly heavy squats. Felt a tweak in my lower back that traveled up my neck. One of those where you cant turn your head for a few days and it hurts to sit down to poop (lower back). Happens to me a couple times a year, I train through it, no big deal. This time my arm is F ing killing me. As I said cant hold a dumbell, it's zapped my strength, shoulders hurt I suppose from overcompensating. For example, 3 weeks ago 365 bench for a fairly smooth 5 or 6 top set, 315 x10 no real sweat... Yesterday I couldn't unrack 365 as the pain was crazy and it felt like a God damn ton. 315 was a grind and hasn't felt that heavy in years so something is going on and it ain't going away. Only stating weights so you a get an idea of the drop off in performance. Normally, I just train around the pain and things typically get better, this doesnt feel that way and I'm going on weeks now w no improvement.
I've been squatting 3 times a week bc it's about the only thing I can do and now my knee is acting a fool
.. Fuck getting old.
Seeing if anyone has dealt w nerve issues such as this, or if this even sounds like that? Anything I can do...? Haven't been to the doc in years, never a chiro or anything of the sorts and dont want to unless I have too.
