A stupid neck is a medical condition, also known as "cervical spinal stenosis". It is the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck. It can squeeze and compress the nerve roots where they leave the spinal cord, or it may compress or damage the spinal cord itself. The
seven vertebrae between the head and the chest make up the cervical spine. Squeezing the nerves and cord in the cervical spine can
change how the spinal cord functions and cause
pain, stiffness, numbness, or weakness in the neck, arms, and legs. It can also affect your control of your bowels and bladder.
A notable
case of this condition is of professional wrestler
Edge, otherwise known as Adam Copeland, who was forced to retire because of his, "stupid neck". This was a
huge loss the to company, and sports entertainment, but thankfully, there are many other facets to the industry that he can still contribute. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest in ring performers between the
late 90'
s, right up until his retirement in 2011.
