JusticeZero Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 So Sunday night I went to bed feeling fine, and not having done anything with my art that day and nothing more strenuous than a routine few miles of biking and light tidying. Monday, I woke up sore and stiff in my right shoulder and neck; I decided to go easy and let it recover. Monday evening I was pretty much incapacitated until I took a very hot shower, which still left me stiff.4:00 AM Tuesday morning, the wife rolled over and my left shoulder dropped to the bed, and the resulting twist woke me up in a sparkling new world of pain; shortly after I crawled out of bed somehow and called someone to drive me to the ER. All of Tuesday and parts of Wednesday I spent sitting wearing a C-collar and trying to get tiny snippets of nap in here and there. By Thursday I could move quite a bit, but still with major limits and directions that just hurt a lot.Today is Friday. Same as Thursday. Is there anything I should be doing to recover from this faster? Notwithstanding the strangeness of the injury - I could see mangling my shoulder by botching floor movement, but 'sleeping wrong' (especially when I don't recall waking up in any particularly odd positions) doesn't seem like something that would land one in the emergency room.

white owl Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Same here. I have woken in the morning with a stiff back from staying in one position and also a stiff shoulder if I sleep with my head on my arm but it usually loosens up through out the day.

Truestar Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It may be beneficial to see a massage therapist.Not the "relaxing" stereotype but someone who knows the body and can dig around. We have a neurological massage therapist in our town, and it's not someone you go to see for an hour of relaxation but boy does it clear things up!

bushido_man96 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Man, that sucks. I hope it heals up soon. Maybe the massage is the way to go. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperki Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, so even at the ER they didn't really know what to do with you? I guess the good news is that you're healing. If you're not already using some, I'd recommend Ibprofien. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeZero Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well, the ER gave me a C-collar for my neck to use for a day or so, some muscle relaxants (that took some of the edge off, but didn't really cure much) and some ibuprofen; they said to move it a bit and use heat. I've been doing all of those.Yesterday, my dad noted that he felt that his side of the family had a genetic susceptibility to nightshades; he told me to remove tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and all kinds of peppers (green, hot, etc) from my diet, as those apparently can cause joint inflammation in some people.

sperki Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm with white owl on this one, but hopefully that advise came from somebody more qualified than me And really if it works...it works and it's worth continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
