[TheForge] Repetitive motion injuries

[Jerry Smith]

Larry,
         I had a bad head and neck trauma about ten years ago. A young man 
came in thru the passenger side of my Toyota with a Camero at 45 mph. My 
head went thru the driver's side window, before the roof started to buckle 
down.
         I have done the hand/wrist exercises for years, I do proper neck 
rotations daily. I will probably need the surgery, but will talk to 2 or 3 
second opinion doctors before having surgery.
