Last night my neck and upper back seized up, rendering my neck near immobile and the pain very challenging to tolerate. Through the tears and complaining (on my end), we decided to wait it out the night and see if it improved. I spent the part of the night on the couch, and watched "To Sir, with love" with Sidney Portier. Brilliant. Very much enjoyed it, despite not being able to move!
This morning it wasn't much better, and even after a warm shower and rest, I realized without medical help the vice around my neck wouldn't go away. Dearest husband drove me to the doctors (not wise to drive when you can't turn your head!), who were able to get me in during the morning, and then accompanied me during the long waiting room wait, and then the long patient room wait (where we saw a magazine called "Garden & Gun" - only in the South), until I was seen by a PA. It's just a really bad neck-crick, however with the muscle relaxers I should be put right soon. I have almost the full range of motion back, and the pain is slowly but surely subsiding. I'll be more careful at work!
Medical issues, although tremendously unpleasant, are made much easier with a good support!!!
