Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I'm being a BIG baby right now.

My neck has been stiff and causing me alot of pain over 9 days now. It started a week before the marathon. I got some pain killers/ muscle relaxers cause I couldn't even turn my head to drive with out it hurting...

(keep reading if you want to hear more whining)

So I'm sure running 13.1 miles Saturday didn't help it... all that jarring and stuff.

It started in the right side of my neck for a week, then yesterday it moved to the left side, and now today it's both sides GGGRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Not sure what to do, I think the doctors would just prescribe more pain killers, but I don't want to keep taking them.

I thought maybe a massage would help- it couldn't hurt :o)

Usually I get this strained neck thing and it lasts a couple days, the last time I got it, it lasted several days (about a year ago so it's not that frequent). But this time it has lasted 9 days and I'm getting tired of it.

Any advice out there???? I'm assuming this is just one of those things that just has to run it's course... I'm sure lifting the 5 million pound costco milk container this morning while shopping didn't help either.

Lame, ok, enough complaining.... OUCH!

You know a massage sounds good, also a hot steamy bath with a neck pillow would do good too.

My poor baby girl! I'll massage your neck for you! I remember getting those neck aches too.

Yes, get yourself a massage!
