For the first time.....

.....I am desperately afraid of being told to stop running. I don't think I have mentioned it before, but for the past 8 weeks or so I have been fighting off neck pain. Now, mind you....I have had neck issues off and on ever since PT school. However, with a little work from professors, classmates or coworkers I have been able to manage. Things have taken a turn for the worse. I, along with my coworkers, suspect that I have neurological involvement. This typically occurs if/when a bulged disc is pressing on a nerve root.
The first thing we tell people when they have a bulged disc....."might want to give up any high impact activities"
I have to say this though....as crappy as I have been feeling with this neck pain, I seriously fear how I would deal with not being able to run.
Hope for the best as I see my MD today.
