Seriously?!? Who knew that the muscles in your neck, back, shoulders and arms all worked so well together. I am always amazed how perfectly tuned our bodies are....how wonderfully everything works in perfect union....that is until, something, somewhere decides to go "kerplunk" and suddenly you find yourself spending 5 whole days in bed. And yes, I'm sure 5 whole days in bed watching nothing, but "Sex in the City" sounds blissful to some, but to someone like me who always has to be busy, it was sheer, unadulterated torture! Okay, actually the first couple days were rather nice and restful, but then my hyper active, during menstrual (therefore emotional) brain started thinking about all the things I should have been doing and I was a blubbering pile of goo off and on between Friday and Sunday. Shandi beat me up on Wednesday and got things loosened up. My doctor gave me vicodin (didn't take it) and muscle relaxers (definitely took it and it knocked me on my ass). Ye ole doc felt it was simply muscular based on the exercises she had me do and that if it wasn't completely healed in 3 weeks...come back to see her. Welp, today it's definitely better than it was, but everything is seriously TIGHT!! Typing and mouse-ing do not help it and yet here I am at work. Yes, I am stubborn, but I refused to miss another day of work since I took 2 impromptu vacation days last week. My New Year's Eve sucked (which also meant it kinda sucked for my family too). :( Thankfully, I head back in to Shandi this Wednesday for another round of torture. I think my body is ready for another Soma session though. I believe I am at that stage. In the meantime, I'm trying to take it easy at work and not push myself too hard.
Am now trying to figure out why this happened though. I am not usually one to have shoulder issues. Although, I did have neck issues back in November. I talked about the last 12 weeks being a learning process....I think my body is letting go of some seriously toxic crud. That's the only thing it could possiby be. So, with that in mind, I just went ahead and let the crying jags happen over the weekend. I'm guessing I really did need them.
Aw, sorry your new years was rough. :(
Glad things are on the upswing! Hugs!
