Not long after I posted this I started to notice that the left side of my neck/upper back were hurting a bit. No big deal I thought. I figured I was just sore.

WRONG

At about 3am I was sitting on the couch talking to catzen and suddenly the left side of my neck and upper back started spasming intensely. I could barely move and there was pain all the way down to my fingers, catzen convinced me to try lying down flat in bed, and he heated a heat pack for me, but then I started to panic because I couldn't move myself due to the pain being so severe. There was no position to lie in that was even marginally comfortable, not to mention that wasn't excrutiating. I then had catzen help me up and I went and stood in the shower under the shower massager for quite some time. This helped to stop the spasaming, but it still hurt like hell to move my neck. I tried, mostly unsuccessfully to sleep after that. I woke up at 7am and moved to the recliner, which was more comfortable and allowed me to sleep for a couple of hours. I am still in a lot of pain and it hurts to move my neck and arm. I have salon pas pasted all over my neck and back and they are helped some.

I am so damned tired and uncomfortable right now.

Gah

Eeep! Have you called the doctor?

Sending ~pain relief~ vibes....

No i haven't called. It is clearly a muscular thing and I am not all that sure what a doc could do (though for the first time I my life I am seriously craving heavy-duty muscle relaxants). I woke up a month or so ago with similar (though not nearly as severe) pain on the right side of my neck. I may call the doctor if it doesn't start to improve.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

I had something similar a few weeks ago. The doctor suggested Tylenol to deal with the pain without messing with my stomach.

Thanks.

Working at a computer all day is not helping.
