OUCH!

Well, I hate complaining, but when something hurts I can't help it.... I admit it, I'm a big baby.


My stiff neck has been acting up again. Lame. The doctor just subscribed more pain medicine. But I can't keep taking pain killers, I need to find out what's WRONG!

So I had an appointment today, and the doctor did an X-ray of my upper back, shoulders and neck. She said my spine looks great. So she's leaning towards going to Physical Therapy to see if they can help. We both think it's work related, not completely but my job isn't helping. Doing the same repetitive motions for several hours everyday being hunched over a machine can't be helping my neck. So she gave me the referral.

Next Monday I have my first PT appointment, and hopefully they can give me some tips on what I can do to alleviate the pressure. It feels like someones behind me pulling all the muscles in my neck and just hanging on them. It's hurts to look too far to the right, left, up or down. And it hurts when I lift objects with my left arm... lame... ok enough complaining.

We'll see what Monday brings. Have a great pain-free day if you can :o)
