Okay...just got back home a few moments ago.
Have been experiencing pain in my right jaw just under the ear...for about 10 days. Walked into my cardiologist's office to make an appointment but the duty nurse said because the jaw 'clicks' sometimes, she didn't think it was heart-related.
Sunday evening during my 8-ball tournament...around 10 pm my left arm between my lower palm and my elbow would go numb...then tingle....then numb.
So...okay, now we've got two symptoms of a possible heart attack....so when I got home (I live alone) it was about 1AM.
Should I just lay down and try to go to sleep? I started to worry a little bit.
Said, WTF....I'll drive myself to the Emergency Clinic and after a CTScan and xrays...they transported me to the hospital.
They did a sonogram on the arteries in my neck...clear.
They did a 45 minute MRI on my brain and my cervical spine.
No signs of bleeding in the brain, but they found herniated discs at C3 and C4.
I had a C-6 fusion back in 1987 when my twins were born...back then I wore a "Halo" brace ....4 screws to keep my head still, etc..
Neurologist said they don't do that anymore, so I'm debated whether to have this done.
Thanks for the interest in details and also the well-wishes.
