Pinched nerve and exercise

sageatl

Hey Folks. My primary exercise is running but my doctor just diagnosed me with a pinched nerve in my neck, Nothing really to do but wait for the inflammation to go down on its own. In the meantime, I'm off running. The pounding exacerbates the problem. I don't want to stop working out but everything I can think of ( kettle bell, jump rope, zuumba, insanity) are all out f the question.

I'm hoping maybe someone has been in a similar situation and found something that works.
Thanks for any help.
