Leo, see a doc man! I’m usually like you but now that I’m a little older (I’m 35) and have a “medical condition” I am more likely to see the medicos sooner rather than later. I could have saved myself some damage to my right foot if I’d been less stubborn (Rheumatoid arthritis went undiagnosed for almost 2 years and did some permanent damage). Coulda been prevented if I’d been more of a BGB about it.

Hope u and Tozer set the prem alight,

I would imagine you have a trapped nerve in your neck which is why you are getting the pins and needles down your arm and yes it could be damage in the form of a break or fracture and another blow similar to what you had could be more serious. It may not seem as bad if you have well developed neck muscles but nevertheless if theres damage you need to know.

i doubt its a broken neck though because i am able to play football still and help around the garden lifting stuff….

well i hope lol

My first reaction when you described the incident is that you might be walking around with a broken neck, but if if you have seen seen your GP he would (should) spotted have that. Did he send you for a precautionary X-ray just to ascertain there was no damage, if not it’s still worth checking out.

On topic, good for Tamas. From what I’ve read/heard he’s looking extremely good in the reserves. Let’s hope he progresses into the senior squad soon!

the reason i ask is that i damaged my neck playing football two weeks back and its still quite sore, bit stiff on occasions, what happened was i was in goal and was neiling down to take the ball from the goal line, the player encroached the box (not allowed in 5 aside) and his thigh struck me on the top of the head pushing me back the neck took the impact and made a deep cracking noise.

been experiencing slight numbness of my arms and fingers too recently. any idea what i can do or whats wrong? i tried self diagnosing but the websites are rubish on the subject

Bill F, did you say you are a physical practitioner the other day?

We would like to establish the Official Hungarian Newcatle Fan Club.
I hope it will be working and maybe we can go out some Newcastle matches.
Sorry for my English, it’s not prefect…
