OUCH -- My Neck!!
 

I was just taking a shower and I kind of cricked my neck. I sometimes crack it like some people do knuckles. Anyway, got a shooting pain right up left side of my neck, right into my head.

I literally cannot turn my head to the left because of the pain. And looking up is likewise agony.

I've basically got my chin on my chest, facing to the right. Like this I'm not in too much pain.

What a fucker!! |jester|

I hate doctors and hospitals, so I'm gonna leave it until tomorrow. If it hasn't eased up anyway, then I'll make a trip to the hospital. :(

Would you Please stop hurting yourself, Kristian?!?! |knockout|

Hope it clears up quick, man. I hate getting a crick in my neck.

Thanks mate! :)

Moist heat is the best thing get back in the shower and run the water as hot as u can on it :)

I just KNEW you always wanted to get me in the shower :D

I'm gonna try that tho right now :)

What MML said, or just take a hot bath. That usually loosens me up :)

If that doesn't work, go to a chiropractor. The only thing a regular doc will do is give you some painkillers.

You could also take a large bath towel and soak it in water, wring it out a bit so its not dripping and put it in the microwave. Get the towel hot in the microwave and then when its down you can put it around your neck for moist heat. That works really well.

Just dont drop the soap |santa|

oh shit |jester|

Right, first off, thanks guys for your suggestions. Another shower has helped and I was about to try the moist heat suggestion when april came home from shopping.

She's got me this ingenius little device. Cura-Heat they're called. You basically stick this pad to your clothing over the affected area (in my case, a scarf round my neck), and the air activates it. It produces non-medicinal, fragrance free heat for 12 hours.

I'm hoping this baby does the trick. I was hoping to get laid tonight :D

Just lay down and let your lady do all the work. And don't turn your head to the left....

relax and get a nice good massage, that will help|violin|

"Moist Heat" makes me giggle |jester|

Hey, I just realised it was MML who wanted to put moist heat on my neck as well! Where;s that soap?? |goodnight

The real way to do it is take either painkillers or muscule relaxers.
That way you can move your neck and loosin up the tight musculel.The less you move it the tighter it stays.

That makes sense too. I've had some extra strength paras about an hour ago. It does feel slightly looser. Not looking forward to lying down tho. Think it might be a night in my office chair grrr

Well, this sucks.

Too painful to lay down so looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight.

Neck and/or back pain sucks. There's no comfortable way to sleep without some kind of meds. Even over the counters can help if you don't take them often regularly...depends on if it's muscles or joints that are causing the pain.

I hope it feels better soon.|peace|

Thanks, Porn Princess :) If nothing else it'll give me an excuse to slack off from work this Friday :)

Definitely sounds like a porn title. "Moist Heat" starting Ron Jeremy. Hell it could be already for all I know..haha

You don't sleep anyway. Good time to play more video games. ;)

BTW, you may want to try ice as well.

Get better. And yeah- stop injuring yourself!

That's a good link, thanks dude :)

Yeah, I dont know whats wrong with me at the moment. I go practically a lifetime without incident, then I seem to hit a brick wall at 29. Nevermind, I'm a warrior :)

You're only 29? I thoguht you were in your mid 30's at least. PUNK. LOL. :)

I'll be 34 this March.

I feel like 59 at the moment |jester|

So you're a dirty old man? That's cool. :D I'll have to remember to send you something in march :)

Don't worry...I'll remind you in advance my Bday is March 24th. |thumb

:D

Yeah- I'm finding more and more gray hair on my chest. Hair sprouting from my ears and a decline in memory.

I battle with the voices in my head all the time now.

That all happned at once the day I turned 30.

;)

Enjoy. |jester|
