A pain in the neck
Quite literally!My hayfever was quite bad on Monday and I pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder in a particularly big sneeze! It was bloody painful on Monday, but I could still move without crying. Yesterday, I woke up to excruciating pain, and I couldn't move my neck, head or upper torso at all! Not only that, but my head was stuck at a peculiar angle - angled towards my left shoulder and chin tilted towards my chest! Lol, sounds like a bad sitcom, doesn't it?!
Imagine the difficulty I had trying to manoeuvre my body out of bed from a lying down position to a sitting one! It literally took me 20 minutes, and crying with pain. It was too painful to sit at a computer, so I called in sick. I think I spent the rest of the morning attempting to get dressed and brush my teeth - no small feat when every little movement bring tears to your eyes. As for the unruly afro curls - I had to leave them as they were, because there was no way I could move my arms that far up to do anything about them!
I had no idea how much one muscle could affect movement! To view anything on any level other than eye-level, I had to more my entire body to that level. Spitting out toothpaste was a pain! I automatically went and stood on the scales, until I realised that there was no point, as I couldn't bend my neck to see the result anyway! Lol..
I've got a bit more movement back, many ibuprofen tablets later, and much less pain, thank goodness! I can even type and use a mouse if I sit right back in the chair so my neck and back are supported. Thanks goodness, because there's so much to be done!
Well, that's what I've been upto so far this week. What about you?
Do take it easy and if it doesn't start to get better in a few days then go to the doctors.
Take care and gentle hugs. xx
Aww thanks, Flighty. Much less painful now, thanks! Although on Tuesday, I was wondering if I'd actually broken my neck, it hurt that much :)
How was the French market? Did you try the food? xxx
Hey TommyP. That sounds bloody painful! I hope you've recovered now? What is the wrong position to sneeze in..? Lol, sorry sorry, hehe x
I fully felt how painful of your situation, like nikki said if your neck still not recover yet, have to see a specialist. Take care!
Reading on your description for the movement of yr. head, seems like a robot ;-). {Just Kidding}
As your page was loading, coincidentally I sneezed 3 times.
Anyway, hope you are even better today than you were yesterday. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I only had time for a relatively quick browse around the French market, but did try some of the foods on offer. Next time I'll have a proper look.
Have a good, relaxing weekend. xx
