my shoulder pains
for the past few days, my left shoulder has been in some kind of terrible pain.. it just hurts and aches and hurts some more. it feels like i dislocated my shoulder which isn't possible but it's that kind of throbbing action i got going on in my shoulder. the first day it started hurting, i had to go to work but they let me go home early so i could figure out what the hell was going on. i've been putting salonpas (icy/hot) pads on but the thing that works is just using the icy/hot cream and rubbing it in.. the first time i used it, i put on a "generous amount" and my shoulder was burning BURNING! i rinsed it off and had to stay by the bathroom sink topless (now that's a sight for sore eyes - you know what? i actually never really understood that saying...) and just keep splashing water and rubbing the cold soap on my shoulder until the burning went away. but i guess all that awkward positioning increased the already unbearable pain, so i dried my shoulder and rubbed on in very teeny tiny amounts of icy/hot.. much better.. and even though jason is exhausted from work, as soon as we get home, i force him to put his heart and soul into massaging my shoulder.. why? because he's my bitch, that's why. the second and third days, the pain saga continues until some exciting new developments on the fourth day occured (which was yesterday). the pain in the shoulder seemed to creep away and somehow climb up to the back of my neck and inside my head. i would've taken a burning shoulder anyday over the pain in the neck and the headache one-two death combo. i attacked them with a drug-induced fury. all areas feel much better today, what a coincidence, right when i have school. my shoulder still feels sore but a lot better.. hmm.. i'm hungry but i have class in like 15 minutes, do i dare hit up the vending machine.. i do dare.. cheetos or doritos, an age-old decision..
