Got Something You Want To Say?

It's between my shoulder blade and neck. I only got two hours of sleep last night because of it and I was in pain the entire day. It's 6:30pm and I'm still at work, and I'll be staying here until 9:00pm because I have to sell my IB course to IB parents. Did I mention I can't lift or move my right arm because of this nerve? Every time I move tears well up in my eyes.

BAH! I just want to stop.

Wynter, I am so sorry to hear this! I understand the pain of trapped nerves can be tremendous. :hug:
Can you get some painkillers until you get to a doctor? Maybe something strong like Ibuprofen.

I've taken an advil 3. Everyone is telling me to take tomorrow off, but I can't. I have three lessons to begin tomorrow, so if I'm not there, it'll be problematic... :sweat:

Yikes. That sounds really painful. Is it possible to get someone to massage it for you or is it possible to do it yourself? I'm not familiar with pinched nerves, so I have no idea what to do. Just hope you feel better soon. :hug:

I just looked up Advil and it has ibuprofen in it. You could also take some paracetamol, too, if you have any.
If you're going to force yourself to work, I hope you feel at least a bit better by tomorrow. :fingerscrossed:

I would think massaging it would send Wynter through the roof. :sweat:

Oops! :sweat: Uh, she should get drugged up with painkillers then. I wonder how she got the pinched nerve..

Hey, Wyn, the last time that happened to me, they said that it wasn't a pinched nerve but a stiff muscle. They made me take muscle relaxants and the pain went away, and as my husband recalls, he said that I was "a happy camper" when I took the meds. :)

That's only what I think - I've never had a pinched nerve, and I'm no doctor. :mrgreen: I could be completely wrong, and often am. :)

Well, it's time for bed for me now, so goodnight Cori and anyone else who might be reading. :D

I'm in the same boat as you. Never had it, only heard of it, so I would have no idea what to do. Massaging it sounded like a good idea, but perhaps not. :(

Oyasumi, keps!

Thanks. :) :hug:

The meeting was a success and I had a lot of parents asking questions. I also was able to leave at 8:30pm. I think I'll just lie down now and hope for the best. :fingerscrossed:

Mum massaged it a bit for me and it was PAINFUL! But I'm a masochist so I lived through it, and I think it actually helped a little.

My mum thinks it's a stiff muscle as well! I figure I'll go to work tomorrow, and if it gets worse, I'll take the next day (or half day) off and see a doc.
