Ouch! I can't move my left arm this morning!

[cheezus]

Tivo grabbed some movie off cable last night (had Tom Hanks and some mute woman who was mermaid, but he didn't know it) My wife and I fell asleep on the couch watching it. When we woke up my left shoulder was kind of sore; went to bed without thinking much of it. Woke up about 4 am and it HURT! I slept off and on until it was time to get up, because I'd shift and it would hurt and I'd wake up.

It felt quite a bit better when I was in the hot hot shower, but since then it's been stifening up again. The pain isn't that great, but it's enough to make me whine "owwwwch!" every time i love my left arm more than a few inches.

okay. I'm done complaining.

Anyone else watch that movie last night?

1. Maybe you should 'love' your *right* arm for awhile...

The pain isn't that great, but it's enough to make me whine "owwwwch!" every time i love my left arm more than a few inches.

4. Get Thee to a Chiropractor!!!

They should be able to give you some relief.

5. no thanks. If it doesn't go away I'll go to a real doctor

sure I just slept on it wrong

10. I've Gone to Both

I've gotten faster relief from a chiropractor than an MD.

and BTW, chiropractors are real doctors, too.

6. Tiger Balm "Ultra strength"

They sell it at walgreens. Buy some...it works miracles!

I pulled a muscle in my upper back last weekend shoveling and could barely even breath without wincing...I applied Tiger Balm and within two hours I was back to almost normal!

Unless it's just my imagination it's the best product on the market for aches and pains!

7. Go to a doctor

Could be tendonitis or bursitis. I stretched my ACL in 99 and I get that from time to time.

Ice and heat alternating and rest will help to relieve the pain and an anti-inflammatory.

8. I'm a bit underinsured... but I'll go if it doesn't fix itself

I have crappy health insurance that has a really high deductable and pretty much doesn't cover anything. My arm has been getting a little better, but if it's still sore like this come lunch time I'll have the wife bring me home some of that cold/hot salve for it.

The good news is that once I position my arm (ouch!), I can type with only minor discomfort.

Thanks for the advice!

9. I Pinched a Nerve in My Shoulder

a couple of years ago, just surfing the internet. No pain but numbness and an inability to move my wrist. The neurologist couldn't really do anything except let it heal, but I got several accupuncture treatments which helped quite a bit.

11. Sounds worse than lying on it wrong

What do I know though. I woke up with painful/numb right quadricep this morning. I went to the doctor who said that I probably hurt my back somehow and told me to take anti inflammatories for a while. I am thinking about going to a chiropractor. The other time I went to the doctor for pain attributed to my back I was told to take anti inflamatories too. What a waste of $20.

12. Jointritis is my friend.

Kind of like Icy Hot only more so.

Hope you are soon feeling better. :hi:
