My shoulder and right arm hurt so bad from my neck being curved forward instead of backwards I couldnt drive. I went to the Chiropractor and this what She told me to do. I havent had any issues since. this was 2009 or 2010
Hi Stagnut,
I'm definitely going to try the rolled towel. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Thanks for the idea,

I don't have back or neck pain......this week. My left thigh still has numbness, primarily on the surface, from a pinched nerve some time ago. I take my mind off it by admiring the Leverletto US I got from Bill just before Christmas. It is a lovely thing and beautifully executed. I have about a dozen Leverlettos; they are one of my favs. Great job, Bill!

Is the numbness only on the surface of your outer thigh?
Left thigh numbness is on the left side and carries partly over to the front. When the nerve first let me know it was pinched, wow did I get it. Thought someone had knifed me, but as I was in the printer/supply room at work, no one anywhere near, I knew the explanation lay elsewhere
Ask your doctor if it could be meralgia parasthetica.
Annoying, but basically harmless nerve impingement, usually in the iguinal (groin) area. Often cause by adhesions.

Sounds like you have more than a little experience with all this. I have my annual physical in a few weeks and will bring this up. Thanks, Dr. Bill

aka "lateral femoral neuropathy"
Been there....... ended up having the nerve severed surgically to stop the damn burning sensation. It was driving me nuts, what with the burning, itching, stinging, etc... Now (20+ years post-op) its just numb.
Bill: That's the way more Leverlettos should be built. Could you suggest this to the people in Italy? It would make the pocket carry of smaller Leverlettos more convenient and popular.
