I woke up last Tuesday and could barely move my head forward to get up, once I got out of bed my right upper shoulder was sooo stiff I could barely move my right arm in motion or move my head side to side n forward backward. once I got to work it would loosen up alil (this had happen to me before but it would loosen up and go away in 2-3days) but it has been 8days and my NECK is still stiff in pain when I bend my head foward or scretch my right arm backward. I have put icey/hot pad on that area all week and it would loosen up alil as the day goes on. But everytime I sleep and wake up the shoulder/neck would tighten up and stiff up again the course of the week and the pads never help at all. MY NECK/SHOULDER FEELS like it was last Tues. Any suggestion beside seeing a Chiro?
I have no clue to be honest. Maybe check out a good website or two??? Here is one decent link: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/neckandshoulderpain/ http://sportsmedicine.about.com/gi/...w.physsportsmed.com/issues/oct_96/aptaker.htm
Asian Massage Parlor, my friend. Seriously, go to a real doctor. They're paid to do this stuff. You may even score some awesome pain medication out of the deal. Don't take it, though - save it for when you're better.
Sounds like a pulled muscle. Probably due to an awkward sleeping position. Happens to me about once a year.
My fault. Didn't see the part about 8 days. That could be serious. The 2 to 3 days thing happens to me about once a year, and is simply a pulled muscle.
When I woke up this morning, the first thing I thought was, "I wonder if anyone with a BBS account woke up with a STIFF NECK/SHOULDER...? If so, I hope they create a thread to inform us all of the condition." When I woke up this morning, I felt like a million bucks. I made some coffee, took the trash out, put CNBC on, checked my work email/voice mail, and sat down to review the BBS and surf for a few minutes. I am going to get in the shower soon, then get dressed and go to the office. I will keep you all posted as events warrant.
Oh... a Chiro... ok... a Chiro... allright... But seriously, folks... get Therma-something pads... ThermaCare, xcharged said...
Oh I'm sorry, Chiro is busy but if you would like one of her qualified assistats we can schedule you in this afternoon.
I wake up with a stiffy pretty much every morning. I think it has something to do with..... I'm sorry, what? Ooooh. nevermind
I see a chiropractor once a month. Keeps eveything aligned. It's amazing how a pulled muscle can affect the vertebre and then the vertebre in turn ties other muscles around it in knots. A potentially painfull chain reaction. I would start with ibuprofen. If you take 1-2 it acts as a pain releiver. If you take 3-4, it acts as an anti-inflammatory. Or so I've heard.
Woke up in my clothes again this morning Don't know exactly where I've been I should heed my Doctors warning He does the best with me he can He claims I suffer from delusions Yet I’m so confident I’m sane It can’t be no optical illusion So how can you explain Shadows in the rain
