A "crick" in my neck
It's not that I think that everything that happens to me is blog worthy. It's just that nothing much has happened lately (a good sign)so I thought I'd mention my neck.
Necks are important. They supply a great place to hang necklaces. They also seem necessary to turn your head. Mine does the first, but not the second. I hurt it opening a door about 2 weeks ago. The door wouldn't budge but I had the benefit of all those classes at the gym. I gritted my teeth and REALLY pulled. It opened. My head jerked. My neck hasn't been the same since. I've seen the chiropractor a couple of times, a doctor once, and used lots of heat, cold, massage and sleep. The end result is my neck still hurts and I can't turn my head. Handy if you're Frankenstein. Annoying in all other cases.
I may try a different chiropractor, or I may just take the doctor's muscle relaxants and sleep until spring. Either way, don't drive in my blind spot because shoulder checking when I change lanes is out of the question.

Carolin, have you ever tried acupuncture? I had a serious tear in my shoulder ligament a year ago and my physio did acupunture and even though the tear took 12 wks to heal, I had mobility a lot sooner and the pain was manageable within a couple of weeks. Just a suggestion - I hate to see you suffer with neck pain because it just can affect everything. I wish you the best WE2EBC Jan

Carolin, it must be so nice that nothing 'major' has happened lately. Not that a sore neck isnt a pain in the well... neck, but at least its pretty minor. I do know how annoying it is though. I hurt my neck a few weeks ago too. Im glad you are well. How have you been feeling? I just wanted to drop you line to say hi and that I've been thinking about you!! Hope your neck pain goes away soon.
lots of love
Courtenay
