Anterior scalene syndrome is a condition where the anterior scalene muscle compresses the nerves and blood vessels in the space between the first rib and the clavicle (thoracic outlet). This compression can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arm and hand

You can look it up. That is the condition I developed. I still have it :) That was the end of my career.

That is what bowling googly can do to you. Mind you back in those days lot of biomechanics and kinesiology was not available to common people. Today I probably would have corrected my action quickly.

No harm done :) hindsight 50-50.

Just reading up about this and that is a serious injury and no wonder you had to stop playing. Yes these days they have the medical information and this possibly could have been prevented if treated early enough. Do you have permanent nerve damage now? Yes hindsight which does not help after it has happened. Good to know and thanks for sharing as this I find interesting.

Yes I did have permanent nerve damage and not just there at various other places too which I have gathered later.

All good fun :)

I have shared my life widely at hive :)

Wow I did not know that is some hectic and serious stuff you have been through. I had to stop becoming a professional rugby referee due to my prolapsed disc. I went in for key hole surgery on my knee and came out of hospital bruised with a back injury. I was medically boarded from work plus my future career as a professional referee had now also been taken away. I was being fast tracked by England Rugby being one of 3 referees on their program. Life sucks and I feel for you having to deal with this and has the operation helped you?
