Information
has glosseng: In medicine, a stinger, also called a burner or nerve pinch injury, is a minor neurological injury suffered by athletes, mostly in high-contact sports such as hockey, basketball, rugby, football, wrestling, and roller derby. The injury is always a spine injury as opposed to more serious spinal cord injuries, which can lead to partial or total paralysis. It is characterized by a shooting or stinging pain that travels down one arm, followed by numbness and weakness. Many athletes in contact sports have suffered stingers, but they are often unreported to medical professionals due to their minor symptoms and high frequency in sports.
