Have you had an EMG/NCS of that arm? If not, request one. Will give you better information on any residual nerve injury as well as recovery. It will also tell you if there’s also an entrapment injury out in the nerves in the arm in addition to the neck. (Double crush syndrome)

A nerve can heal up to 24 months time.
It takes up to a year to recover from the major spine surgery thst you had.

The nerve is like a large cable made up of many millions of fibers. The outermost ring of fibers are the pain fibers, first to be affected and first to recover. Sensory (feeling/numbness/tingling) fibers are the next ring in. Affected as the injury worsens and recovers later than the pain fibers. The Innermost group of nerve fibers control muscle tissue. Last to be affected and last to recover usually.

Take vitamin B-6 100mg daily until it’s all better. Super B complex. Vitamin B-12. Get a Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc supplement too.
Take one of each daily. Essential building blocks to nerve repair. Make sure that you don’t take more B-6 than 100mg daily. Megadoses can be toxic to nerves, 100mg is totally safe…

Patience is the toughest part of surgical recovery. How old are you? No tobacco or nicotine (in any form) as even as little nicotine is in 1 cigarette can completely halt the body’s repair ability.

Hope that helps!

@VolsDoc81TX
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the info. I haven't had an EMG/NCS of the left arm. I'm 45 and don't use any nicotine. Patience is hard for me as I'm a pretty active person (lift weights and cardio 5 to 6 days per week). On lifting restrictions right now at 8 weeks out from surgery and can lift no more than 25 pounds. Again, I can't thank you enough for the advice and will definitely follow through with your recommendations. I am very pleased with everything to this point just need to be patient (which is exactly what doc told wife after surgery, lol). Check is in the mail😁

Got a challenge for you and Byron.

Look up the 30 day plank challenge. Starts at a 20 second plank. At the end of 30 days, you are up to a 5 minute plank. I just hit the 3 minute plank day. It killed me. 2 1/2 minutes were tough, but the last 30 seconds was on fire… excellent for the core muscles!

If it doesn’t kill you first 😳

I think the hit Beasley put on Slovis when he threw the interception would 100% have been targeting if we were playing Bama or Georgia.

When OU and Texas join the league, they will be in for a rude awakening.
They always got all the favorable calls as the cash cows 🐄 of the Big 12.
But I think Texas already got a little taste 👅 of what it’s going to be like in the SEC last week.

Yes to any of the P5 teams! TCU is 35 minutes from my house 😎

Yes to any of the G5 teams too. Probably not Army though.

Regardless, that year will be yet another

15-0 🤠 for our Volunteers!
