So basically I have in my right arm radial nerve issues, cervical spine stiffness on RHS, my right Sternoclavicular joint and my right Acromioclavicular are not happy bunnies. My shoulder girdle right is pulled forward, he was surprised I was still riding carrying these problems and told me I'd joined the mad club of women who continue to ride despite injury.
So he can fix me in he thinks 5 or 6 sessions provided I do the exercises religiously, he did say I should consider stopping riding but that he knew I wouldn't so he knew he was wasting his breath.
He did say if I continue riding the problems will recur and they'll get worse as I age. Once I'm 'sorted' I'll speak to him about maintenance treatments.
So what have I learnt if he fixes me like he did in 2007 then stick with him no matter what.
JaCa certainly helped the symptoms ease in Jan 2010 but the arm issue never fully resolved. I used JaCa because JoCl was fully booked but as much as I don't enjoy his treatment he is good at this type of issue if my experience in 2007 was anything to go by.
Interestingly he thinks the neurologist I saw was wrong about the issue being carpal tunnel referred up to the neck. I've always argued it is my neck that causes my carpal tunnel as my nerve conduction tests are good and haven't changed over a ten year period.
Didn't get treated today as the neural testing causes soreness so will see him next Thursday.
Fingers crossed he is right and as effective as he was in 2007 :-)
