What a Pain in the Neck
My neck has been providing its share of grief for the last week. Last Monday I awoke and found that I no longer had the ability to look at my feet or over either shoulder. A muscle in my back decided to take a break after I crossed some unknown boundary.
The pain and discomfort were obviously the worst on day one. A few co-workers could tell instantaneously that you could hide yourself if you stood anywhere outside my field of view. I toughed it out for the week, and stretching helped improve my mobility daily. Friday night the evil sleeping position that led to this predicament struck again and I was forced to invest in some methocarbamol generics. Medication and heat treatment seemed to have paid off as I'm almost back at full mobility.
I could also back it all up again if I manage to figure out what I'm doing to get into this predicament in the first place.

Talking with the phone ‘twixt ear and shoulder? That’s what got mine sensitized. Or did you change your pillow?
I recommend Marilyn at Westbrook Physiotherapy Rehabilitation. She does slow motion adjustments to your spine, so you won’t have a stroke like if you went to a chiropractor.
