Pain in the neck jokes aside... Ok, I worked out last Friday with a friend, and decided I would try some weight lifting exercises. Nothing major, just a few 15 pound weights, one in each hand, and did a few exercises. The next morning though, I started to feel a slight kink in the neck when I turned to one side, again didn't think anything of it. Sunday, yesterday, and today though, it was barely tolerable so I called up a chiropractor (trying physio next, no worries) in order to get rid of some of the pain. Instead of crunching my neck and back and sending me on my way, he helped stretch me out a bit, pounded my neck a bit with this handheld device which resembled a jack hammer, then electrocuted me in order to fool my body into thinking it wasn't in pain any longer. Felt a bit funny, but worked... Well most of it worked and I'm now more functional than I was this morning, but it will still smart a little when I lie down to sleep. Tomorrow (they don't waste any time) I go in for some physical therapy, and they expect to see me a few times a week for the next month or so. If they make me feel better, I'm all over it! They also gave me some of these vegan anti-inflammatory pills to take. Weird, but as long as they work! Thinking about a hot shower, maybe a jump in the hot tub...
