so when you sprain your ankle or you pull a muscle, you are supposed to stay off of it and not put pressure on it right? well when you sprain/pull a muscle in your neck, how the hell are you supposed to stay off of it or not put pressure on it. its not like i can take my 8 pound head off to relieve the pressure put on my neck. every little movement you make with your head contracts and pulls at different muscles.
even after lying face down with nine acupuncture needles in my neck for 45 minutes, it still hurts. yes it was more serious than even i thought. i thought it would surely go away after i went to the doctor today, but it turns out my vertebrae in my neck were locked and the accupuncture was supposed to relieve that by relaxing and making the muscles better, but it turns out they may still be locked. i might have to go get my neck aligned by my chiropractor tomarrow, which i would rather avoid because i'm kindof scared of having my neck aligned.
i'm fruterated at the fact that people think i am faking or being over dramatic. believe me, i want it gone just as much as all of you want me to stop talking about it. i know it must be annoying, but its really hard not to think about when its such a constant pain. if i have been complaining about it too much for you to bear.....well that sucks, but you'll be happy to know i'll probably only be at school for half the day (depending on how it feels tomarrow)
