Here’s a tip for the day.  Don’t ever get a pinched nerve in your neck.  It hurts more than you think anything can hurt.   After 3 days spent alternating between the couch, the floor (because the heating pad won’t reach if I’m on the couch) and the bed I’ve come to a realization.  I don’t like laying around doing nothing.

I don’t like watching movie after movie and napping the day away.  Trust me, I tried to get up and do things.  Anything for that matter.  But the pain was so bad that I found one position that was manageable, flat on my back with my right arm up near my ear, arm bent backward.

I tried Accupuncture and massage plus heating pads and a poultice recommended by my massage therapist.  Day 2 of this agony forced me to hit the meds.  Hard.  Hey, at least I tried the no-med route for as long as I could stand it.

Today I can sit and type for a few minutes at a time.  Then I have to take a pain break.

Tomorrow I have 2 doctor appointments.  We’ll see if the Osteopath or Orthopedic doctor’s recommendations work better.  I’ll keep you posted.

Now go run!
