Well I can tell you this I messed around with local Drs that weren't worth nothing , this lasted a year I was in major pain and basically dragging my right leg . I went to see a highly recommended Neurologist in Fayetteville . He had me in surgery in two days it was kinda rough afterwards . When all the feelings start coming back in your nerves it hurts . But within a month I was doing good pain was all gone could feel my leg could walk normal. Wish I could of had the surgery done sooner I really suffered for a year . The key is to get the best Dr you can find .

LTA

 

Seen a few. One said there's nothing he could with my lumbar it's so bad. Others want to fuse C2 through C5 and L3 through L5. Ankylosing Spondylitis, Trauma induced Scoliosis, Arthritis, Degenerative joint and disc disease, bone spurs, bulging disc's, and a auto immune disease. No fun. How do you get a guarantee?

 

I too experience lower neck/upper left shoulder pain when I ride and have for years, ( stock bars ) I have noticed the more I ride the less it hurts as in not miles but if I don't ride over the winter it hurts bad in the spring then gets better over the summer.
I feel like I need to get my arms up with some mini apes or something but have never pulled the trigger.

 

I had that for years.

1. Relax your shoulders. A lot of folks tense up and don't realize their doing it.
2. Install handle bar vibration isolators.
3. Gel handle bar grips ie titty grips.
4. And I know I'll get all kinds of grief over this one. Find a good Chiropractor or Acupuncture doc. In memphis I use dr Lincoln Cole on white station. And Alexander Ly on highland.
5. Rub some lidocane on your neck & wrist before you ride.
