redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

My right shoulder was sore last night. I took aspirin, and eventually went to sleep.

This morning, half-awake, I turned over on my right side. Bad Idea. Sharp pain. I got out of bed, carefully; took two aspirin, carefully; made a big cup of tea, also carefully; and am now hoping the aspirin do some good soon.

Ow. *hug*

Have you tried a really hot tub-bath? Have you tried sitting/lying with a hot water bottle on it? (Inside a button-up shirt often works well for shoulders? Have you tried deep heat/tiger balm?

Painkillers kill pain, which is very nice to have taken away, but pain is there as a warning that something is wrong that might need treatment rather than just covering up.
