What Nerve
by Glenn Chittenden Jr. on Jul.05, 2008, under General
I’ve had a pinched nerve in my neck for over a week. Yesterday it caused my left arm to start hurting and this morning my left hand was tingling. I finally decided to go to the hospital and see if it could be something major.
They believed I was right about it being a pinched nerve but ran an EKG on me since the symptoms were similar to a heart problem; it came out normal. So they gave me a couple prescriptions for the pain and want me to get some physical therapy. If it doesn’t go away they will have to do an MRI to take a look at the nerves.
On another note: I found that someone hit my car this morning. It looks like they were backing out of the parking space next to me and turned before they were clear. It scraped the paint off the back side and pulled part of the bumper guard out of position. There’s no way to know who did it and it’s not enough damage that I would bother fixing; it just pisses me off that someone would do that and not leave a note.
