*Headdesk*
Mar. 10th, 2011 02:01 pmNo, not *headdesk*. That would hurt too much.
Tuesday morning, I woke with a very sore neck. I figured I must have *REALLY* slept on it wrong... but it didn't go away like I expected and when I woke up Wednesday morning, it was even a bit worse. I made an appointment for a massage and that definitely helped... and then I went home and used the thermaphore (a heating pad type thing that mimics wet heat) on the neck and shoulder, which felt fantastic. And that was just the latest in a series of really stupid moves, because when I woke up this morning, it was even WORSE.
I know this feeling... even though it's been awhile since I last had it. It's whiplash. ( And, thinking back on it, I know exactly how I got it. )
So, basically, through a series of stupid moves on my part, I managed to give myself whiplash and then exacerbate it when it was probably nearly gone, then make it even worse right after getting proper treatment for it. Bleh.
I've got an appointment with a doctor later this afternoon to see if I can get any other suggestions on treatment, but I suspect the advice I've gotten from my step-dad (who is a physical therapist) is probably the best.
