It's causing numbness in my left arm


I'm in the same boat. If I completely straighten my neck then within a few seconds my left arm starts going numb. As long as I keep my head a little forward then it stops.

I believe I'm headed for PT. I've laid off lifting for 5 months now and it's not gotten any better.

So, I went to PT over this. The therapist is convinced that my problems is right where I had been holding the bar doing back squats.

I've got to do about 6 weeks of PT. He also told me back squats are probably out, but I'm going to look at using a safety squat bar or some other option.

He told.me I should be able to start doing some basics like pushups, lunges, Goblet squats now and maybe some lifting again in a few more weeks.
