Christmas Pains

When I woke up on Thursday morning I noticed that my right shoulder was feeling a bit tender. I figured I had just slept on it funny, so I ignored it. Unfortunately it wouldn’t be ignored. As the day wore on, my shoulder started to get more and more sore. By that night I was really in pain. It was my right shoulder blade, and later my right bicep.

I hadn’t done anything that I could think of to hurt myself. It had been a couple of days since I went to the gym, and I don’t remember bumping in to anything, so it couldn’t be broken although it did kind of feel that way.

By Friday night I was in so much pain, that I couldn’t sit on the couch, I couldn’t walk around, hell, I couldn’t even lay down with out this throbbing pain. Finally, Erin called the TeleHealth number and I spoke to a nurse about what I should do. Surprise, surprise, they said take some Advil and tough it out for a few days.

I have to say that Advil certainly does the trick. After about 800mg of that stuff all I could feel is a dull throb, and I could live with that. Although, if this doesn’t clear up in a few days, I’ll have to go to the hospital…my absolute favourite place in the world.

Wish me luck.
