A right pain in the neck

[GingerBohemian]

Woke up this morning ready for my little jog around the forests of Switzerland. All my stuff laid out where I left it.

Quick shower to wake me up a bit.

Drying myself down. Drying my head and BANG!!!!

Blinding white light as a searing pain shot down my neck and into my shoulder blade.

So knowing that for a pinched nerve there is nothing you can do but wait I am now having to walk around doing that turning at the waist thing to look at things.

I have an hours drive from the meeting back to the hotel and then a 2 hour flight to Copenhagen. None of which is going to loosen up my neck.

So despite completing a 9 week program with no injuries and now running 5km 3x a week I put myself on the IC by drying my head after getting out of the shower.

Oh no!!! I remember my dad slipping a disc in his back lifting up a postage stamp, so these things do happen. I hope you recover soon, all the best!

Ouch GingerBohemian ...talk about agony, it’s awful coz your head often feels too heavy for your neck to hold up too...poor you...hope it doesn’t last too much longer 🙏🏻

Oh, bummer! So sorry to hear this. 🙁 Hope it eases up really, really soon.

Found a local chemist who gave me some muscle relaxant prescription stuff. Said I should have had a prescription but I think she could see I wasn’t putting it on.

Plus, bless her, she gave me loads of heat gel sample sachets as she said I wouldn’t be able to take a tube of gel on the plane.

I don’t think I will be taking off my shirt and asking a fellow passenger to massage some gel into my neck and shoulder but it was good of her all the same.

So I will have to run Switzerland at the end of November when I am next here.

Hi GingerBohemian , showers can be dangerous for us graduates. Hidden will vouch for that. I hope it gets better soon!

Oh nooooo😲😲. Bloody typical ... the simple things get you ... my husband did his back getting the grill from the oven .

I really hope it recovers quickly .. the pharmacist sounds like a great human being ... I love people who just want to help others ...
