Oww!

My right shoulder is killing me. Well, it's not the shoulder, really. It's in my back on the right. The stupid cause of it - I think - is reading in bed.

It began on Tuesday morning, and Monday night I'd read in bed for about an hour, during which I mostly supported my weight on my right arm. I think that led to the knot that's in my back right/neck area. And does it produce some sharp pains! Ouch!

Now, I've had this sort of thing before, and normally it goes away in a day or so. But not this time. It did seem to be getting better on Wednesday and Thursday, but then seemed worse on Friday.

Friday morning, I go to my chiropractor for my normal appointment, and he does a few things. And it seems worse in the afternoon. So, I book a massage, and that helps. For a while. But in the evening it comes back about as bad.

On Saturday, I'm still hurting. But I know I need to get out and get a few things before Christmas comes. And it's snowed a few inches, so I need to shovel before getting out.

The shoveling doesn't hurt, actually, so I get that all done and go out to get a few things. When I get home I'm feeling better than I'd felt in days, which is strange - but good. I don't know if it was getting the muscles warm from the exercise of shoveling that did it, or what.

It's now Sunday morning, and again it's painful. Not as painful as previously, but the same pains are there. It hurts when I'm getting up, turning my head to the right and moving it forward/down.

Hopefully, this too will pass.
