Be careful about that sharp pain Nico, doc told me it was tendonitis, so now I'm doing these really gay neck excercises twice a day! I think it's affecting my elbow as well. Is it kind of a burning pain, and a numb spot right in the center where the tendons attach to your spine at the base of the neck,that's what mine was. I'll post here as soon as I get the Jims Spacers and turn the bars down as Stewe mentioned, and see if that does it!
