I'm over my injury! I'm FINALLY back!

I'm VERY excited!
As some of you SlimDown regulars may or may not remember... last July I got a pretty bad neck injury from working out incorrectly.

After MONTHS of trying to figure out what the heck happened to me... and THREE doctors later...
I had a procuedure 2 weeks ago-- AND FINALLY-- I'M PAIN FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please wish me luck as I start my workout program again! My mom bought me a tredmill as a 'get well' gift. I'm so excited!! I start tomorrow.

Hi...Welcome back. If you dont mind me asking, what did you hurt and what type of procedure did you have done to relieve it?
Thanks,
Scott

Scott-
I have a bulged disc in my neck. I went to a Pain Management doctor in Rockville Centre.
He gave me a series of injections into my neck to releive the swelling of the area around the nerves near the disc to relieve the pain the distressed nerves were causing. Pretty complicated and very painful. Thank God I'm feeling better.

Wow that sounds very painful. I am glad you are feeling better. How did that come about? Were you in an accident or something?

I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I'm almost positive it was due to doing some exercises wrong.
I was doing the FIRM tapes pretty hard core this past spring/summer and I might have messed it up by using the weights wrong or doing situps wrong. I did SOMETHING... and MAN did I mess up my neck.
