    Dude with the neuro symptoms - find the clavicle on the side where you are having the hard neuro signs. Go above the clavicle and get your fingers in between the clavicle and the trap. Push down. If this reproduces your neuro signs, post on here that it does.

    Good luck and be well!
    Spill them beans. What's the home test? (And thanks for the well wishes)

    Bar position was checked by a SS coach last weekend (for which I am very grateful). Turns out I had the bar a fraction hight. Not much, but still high. No problems that day. I've not had a chance to properly road test the new technique yet.

    It could be that the wrist breaking over the bar was the main problem and that since fixing that it's gradually going away, as Leonidas mooted. It could be that I wore different colour underpants, who knows. It looks like good (or at least 'better') technique has an inverse relationship with occurrence at least. That's got to be a good thing.

    Anyway, don't count too much on the other doc who "knows better". Your best shot is the SS coach you're going to train with. Good luck with your training, and keep on getting stronger.
    I did read that before but kinda thought the GP would at least have an awareness of the benefits of weight training, from a medical perspective. That notion has been corrected.

    However, now I'm cursed with my newfound knowledge. When I hear friends complain of ailments that I know are commonly reported to be improved by lifting, it's going to be an uphill battle to get them question what GPs, physios and PTs tell them and get them under a bar. There should be some kind of crib sheet to give them.
