In my attempt to continue to shoot besides trading and or selling all bows I own over 40 #s. I went to the doctor and a had a procedure performed that hopefully will relieve the nerve pain that runs down the inside edge of my shoulder down to my left elbow. I’m sure it won’t repair the damage already done,weakening of my left hand, but I only need to be able to hold the bow up to shoot and my right side is fine. This nerve damage stuff seems contagious on the wall as I’ve talked to several with different nerve issues. Hoping for the best not only for me but others who have similar issues. Pretty hard to shoot well in extreme pain or taking pain meds. Light doses for those who may be concerned I’d shoot someone.

I got to the point where I couldn't shoot anymore the sound an pain was to much to handle. I finally had my c456 fused. Good as new now pain free. I hope the best for you. I know what your going through an it's not pleasurable. Those shots aren't much fun either. Good luck God bless

Unfortunately having 4 vertebrae fused is what caused the problem. 52 years ago I broke my neck and now the vertebrae that have carried the load are wearing out. So little can be done So I get shots in my neck after mri showed damaged areas. Thanks for the thought and I’m very happy for you.

I’ve thought about it myself but the experts so fat have not recommended it. I’ve been to therapy and am continuing to do exercises that do help with the muscles in my shoulder tightened I do have really good doctors so if we’re a consideration I’m sure they would recommend. I might ask at the next visit. Maybe just at night.
