You think you are old when you bring up the fact that PlayStation one came out in 1995 and a millennial says 1995, I wasn’t even born yet.

Years ago my dad would take my mom to the beauty shop then slip across the street for a couple beers while she got her hair done.

Guess what I did today?

Damn we are becoming our parents!

Happy Friday all!
I’m in freaking agony! What started as a pulled muscle in my neck, three weeks later now feels like sciatica, but in my arm. It’s like electricity shooting from my neck, to shoulder, down arm to elbow, wrist and fingers. I started going to the Chiropractor last week. He said it will take a while. Nothing relieves it; heating pads, ice packs, patches…..

FML.

Rant over.

That's awful to deal with, and can impact your overall mood. But let me ask - is it possible you need to think about a recent posture or ergonomic change...like at the office?

Sorry to hear it's still bothering you.

Remember I wrote in about 2 1/2 months ago with lower back pain? Then it went away, now it's back again. Every day now for a while.

Saw my doctor yesterday and she set me up to get X-rays - lower back and mid back. Made an appointment, they're really busy. Soonest I could get was Nov. 7.

Doing lots of back warming up exercises, stretches, Tylenol, Aspercreme, etc. Nothing really helps.

I’m going to have to get one of those stand up things for my computer. It hurts more when I sit. Especially if I need to type. It’s not too bad if I’m just looking at my screen but if I need to type. OUCH. I’m trying to only take one Aleve in the morning but I get up so early, by the time I leave to drive home, it’s brutal. Laying in bed isn’t too bad, or sitting in my reclining couch. Standing is better but I can’t hold my head up high, it pulls the muscle in my neck.

Gotta be careful having it too much. Can become habit forming.
