pinched nerve

Each new year starts the same for me, with a renewed fervor for health and working out and exercise generally. I planned to play some basketball today given that the weather is like 70 degrees.

But, unfortunately, I now have a full-fledged, full-on pinched nerve in my neck.

This isn’t something that just happens. I didn’t just turn the wrong way. There were signs earlier this week that perhaps something was tweaked in the upper part of my torso.

However, the muscle spasms got bad today, so I’m officially on the DL. It’s muscle relaxers and rest until I’m good, although I plan to start doing some yoga, which I think will help prevent injuries in the future.
