Ugh….after weeks of neck pain and arm/hand numbness, I got news that several neck vertebra are not looking like they should. Exploring options for treatment and remaining optimistic, but also considering the impact it could have on future training.
I suspect it's probably a combination of aging, lots of hard training (multiple sports) and over relying on flexibility and inversions in BJJ as part of my guard game.
So just a PSA, take care of those necks and if you're a more 'mature' grappler watch those positions (like inverting, spider guard, etc).

Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.
