Oh that's great

Just. Great.

I gave a big stretch at my desk and felt something in my left trapezius seize up. The area feels hot and my left arm is slightly numb from my neck all the way to the elbow...oh, wait. No, it's tingly/numb all the way down to my pinky finger.

\m/ >_< \m/

It hurts to look down, but it hurts a lot more to look up. There's something pinched in there--it's a very specific "ow spot."

AWESOME.

What an excellent idea. Maybe I'll skip lunch and go home to get my drunk on early...

Oh no!

I am so very sorry to say I can completely empathize (as that's the exact pain I've been having on the right side for about a month now).

Teh cmpleeet suxxor!

Well I certainly can't dance like this, so it had better not last for a month on me.

F F F F!

I wish I were there to rub you, but I'm thinking anti inflammatory and hot shower or bath.

Yeah. Wish Toy was here.

I'm thinking home early from work, stiff drink, hot shower, and then heating pad.

I already took some ibuprofen.

Good thoughts all!

Owie owie. Hot shower, drugs, vibration and heat. When that kind of thing lasts you have to let a neurologist stick pins in you, and we don't want that.

Hadn't thought of the vibration. Good thing there's no shortage of *cough* body massagers in my drawer at home. Thanks!

Oh yes -- I have this heated, vibrating backboard that has taken me from a 6" stride to a normal one overnight. Couldn't do without it. And anything that buzzes is really good on the trapezius.

Emergency appt. with the chiropractor?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2008-09-05 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
She closes at 4:00 on Fridays. I thought of that, but it's not likely.

I'm going to head home early and then see if Toy can adjust me in the morning if I'm still hurting.

Leave early to go over there! Medical emergency! Like anyone's in the office after 3pm on a Friday....

Well, crap a shitcicle, that fucking sucks.

I really wanted to be profane with this to express my distaste in your honor for your uncooperative trap.

Boo, trap. Boo.

Well, crap a shitcicle, that fucking sucks.

Just reading that makes me feel better.

I have a proper torture rack; it's a full-sized Japanese replica of the ones used by The Spanish during the Inquisition. (No one ever expects it.) We'll be right over, and get you properly stretched out.

You have no idea how good that sounds...
