So about 5 weeks ago, I wake up to what i thought was just my hand being asleep. 45 minutes roll by and it's still really not functional - I freak out go to the ER and eventually released with the diagnosis of a minor pinched nerve and that I should give it 4 or so weeks.
The only thing I can recall is that the night before, I was doing curls, and felt a shooting sensation, almost like a guitar or bass string being strummed in my forearm, so I stopped.
So I went to a neurologist today, and via an EMG pinpoints it essentially to my elbow, which is coincidentally popping (and has been - noticed a day or two after the original diagnosis.)
He then is having me see orthopedic doctors, to determine what is wrong with the nerve pathway, and say once it is fixed the recover time will be about 9 months.
WTF
Anyone ever deal with nerve damage before, this blows. I can't game - which enrages me - I just bought a 360 and PS3...
I'm looking for recommendations on:
gaming - I've been mousing left handed but have essentially not much motor control of my right fingers (which is odd, being a lefty, I do all pc activities right handed)
working out- I can do anything that puts any undo stress on my right elbow, or bend it to a 90 degree angle.
bitches- how can I use this to my advantage and pick me up some amputee hotties?
Cliffs-
-fucking gay nerve damage pich in right elbow and can't move hand
-9 months or more of recovery time
-probable typos
-not aids
