The Denver Broncos rolled the dice and signed Manning in , but the time Pro Bowler revealed to Sports Illustrated's Peter King that he hasn't had feeling in his right fingertips during his entire tenure in Denver. Manning had four surgeries on his neck due to a herniated disc that was causing him pain, but the cervical vertebral fusion that he underwent caused damage to nerves, which can take time to regenerate. It took some time for Manning to regain the strength and muscle function in his arm, but he told King that he's still waiting for that to fully return to his fingers.
I've talked to a doctor recently who said, Don't count on the feeling coming back. It was hard for me for about two years, because one doctor told me I could wake up any morning and it might come back. So you wake up every day thinking, Today's the day!
Then it's not. At years-old, the NFL star had to relearn how to throw and eventually put him on a path to a second Super Bowl win in Super Bowl To understand a herniated disc, you have to understand a little bit about how the spine is constructed. The spine is made up of a bunch of vertebrae — separated into 3 portions of the spine. The Cervical Spine is all the vertebra in your neck, protecting your spinal cord. The Thoracic Spine is the middle of the back, and the Lumbar Spine is the lower end of your back.
Most injuries are seen either in the Cervical or Lumbar spines. If the spine sees trauma, from a car accident or even lifting something incorrectly, it can cause the disc to tear and the jelly-like inside squirts out and puts pressure on the nerve roots connected to the spine. The pain you feel is coming from the pressure on the nerves. Sometimes a herniated disc can be treated with a smaller outpatient surgery like a laminectomy or a discectomy. While this is the most tried and true method, athletes should not return to play until the bones have fused together, and this often takes between months.
Furthermore, if the bones do not completely fuse together, additional surgery is needed prior to returning to most athletic activity. Regardless of the surgical treatment, patients should not return to sporting activity until they have regained complete range of cervical motion and strength in their neck and arms. Rarely, herniated discs in the neck can lead to compression on the spinal cord.
If any of these symptoms are present, athletes should seek immediate medical care, as prompt surgical intervention may be needed. Herniated discs in the neck are a common problem for athletes, and while the initial pain and weakness can be startling, most athletes are able to make a complete recovery from the injury in the absence of surgery.
In athletes whose symptoms do not resolve, surgery can allow athletes to return to even high-energy contact sports. Alexander R. He is also Richard H.
