Neck Problems Slowing Me Down

Well, it's been a week since my last workout. I went to a massage therapist to work out some of the stiffness in my shoulders and the pain has been absolutely unbearable since then. I finally got to see a doctor last night and he diagnosed me a neck strain with inflammation and swelling that is cutting intothe nerves that travel down my arm. As a result, I'm now taking a muscle relaxant and anti-imflammatory/pain medication. I also have physio starting on Monday so I hope I can work thru this and learn how to properly strenghthen my back and shoulders!

I am still not able to do my workouts yet but have decided that I will start back at the beginning of Workout #3 and do the full 2 weeks. But it may be a week or two before I can start back in.

Good luck to everyone else on their fitness journey's. I'll be back as soon as I can.
