yeah
So I have a tendency to use my typing spaces to WHINE 90% of the time...oh well! Y'all know I like you so don't feel used.
It's 5 am and I've been up an hour and a half...again. Time for me to face the music and call the doctor. For the last 12 days I've been fighting apparently good sized shoulder/neck pain or something like that. It's in a wierd spot...I think it's my shoulder or upper back on my right side. It doesn't affect my left side AT ALL and over all I'm impressed with how little it affects my right arm usage. I can play piano fairly well and painlessly lift my biggest preschooler! As long as I don't go higher than a straight line with my arm I can do anything. The wierdest thing is while it is certainly not my neck, that doesn't hurt at all...it really affects my neck. The area hurts every direction I move my head. I move my head and my right shoulder or back hurts...how stupid is that lol. The most painful thing is trying to sit up or get up. I never realized how much your shoulders hold your head in alignment when you do these motions, I always thought your neck was the main working part. I probably severed my neck muscle from my shoulder and we will see my head rolling down the street soon.
SOOO how does a whiner like me get by. I end up using my left arm to pull or push myself in the position I need to be. OTC do NOTHING for the pain. I'm afraid to use a sleep aid, if I sleep that deep I may just lay wrong all night and really pay..I'm probably best off waking up, even if it is near tears.
Why hasn't my whiney butt gone to the doctors yet? First, they never get you in for like a week..and by then it should be gone (as I've been thinking all this past week.) Second..what can they do? It's muscular, I'll get a pain killer and a "have a nice day." What good does that do? If it's too strong I can't drive...I've put 2000 miles on my car since Thanksgiving so not doing that is OUT of the question. Three..I've never been impressed with my medical care. The doctor up here seemed a bit mored concerned so I will probably go back there a couple more times to see how it goes. But the bloodwork I had done came back normal (another issue) and the issue is still there..and I've heard nothing back from them..so I guess getting to the bottom of an issue only happens on TV shows like House...
So why go to the doctors after all that? I have to, this is rediculous. I turn my whole body with my left foot instead of turning my head when I drive. I haven't slept more than four hours in a row and I'm afraid I'm going to go nuts. I am using my left hand to control this mouse lol. If I get addicted to pain pills please refer me back to this entry and don't hate me cause I obviously saw it coming and tried to avoid it. This sucks.
OH YEAH best part...how did this happen? NO IDEA! I didn't wake up in pain implying I slept on it wrong. Didn't injure it in a instant knowing it was that. Wasn't sitting oddly for a long time implying stiffness from a bad position. Just noticed it was hurting and it maxed out at this point for the last couple of weeks.
NO IDEA...geeze classic Amanda
