ouch!

Does anyone have a heating pad or a hot pack I can borrow? The torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder is starting to hurt again really badly... and since I'm allergic to vicodin and other pain pills I gotta go with basic solutions... it hurt bad enough to wake me out of a dead sleep tonight... sigh....

I origionally jacked my shoulder swimming for like 14 years... and then in the last year I've been in two car accidents and that made it worse.... and the last accident I Was in totally jacked it up.. So like.. if I lift heavy stuff or if I use it too much or even sleeping on it wrong makes it hurt... and the pain spreads to my chest so if I move it just right I get shoulder and chest pain :) woo :) I actually have some epsom salt.. I used an ice pack earlier... that seemed to have helped a little bit but we'll see... :) so mysterious person... who might you be?

but if I told you who I was, I wouldn't be mysterious anymore, right? How's that shoulder? You know, doctors say that you shouldn't lie down when the shoulder is hurting because the upper muscles strain. Try propping yourself up with firm pillows or soak in a warm bath. Oh. and build up with vitamin K.
