For the past four days I've had a stiff neck that refuses to go away. The first day wasn't so bad, since it only started to feel stiff in the evening. The second day I woke with my neck feeling stiff and it was so bad by night time that I could barely sleep, because every time I shifted in bed, I woke up because of the stabbing pain. Yesterday was the third day and was the worst, as I could barely move my right arm at all, and reaching up for anything above elbow height was pretty much impossible, and I couldn't turn my head. I even accidentally bumped my right shoulder into a door (and jarred my head/neck), and the quick flash of pain was so bad I got all teary. It started to feel better last night, but I think that's because I was liberally applying Ben Gay and Advil all day.

Now my neck is still stiff, but I have more motion, and I can use my arms. I want this to go away. It huuuuuuuuuuuurts. And it's annoying to have to turn my whole body when I want to look at something.
I've been trying to stay sitting up straight or laying flat on my back (I usually sleep curled on my side). One good thing is that I've managed to play a lot of Rune Factory 2. I'm finally starting to make money, and it's nearly the end of Spring. And the girl I am considering marrying likes me! Whoo! Still not sure if I want to marry her or not though.
... I think I need more Advil. I didn't know stiff necks were supposed to last this long. T_T
