Grrrrr....

Ok. So, my right arm has been hurting the last day or so. Nothing extraordinary, but just a "ouch", like I may have slept on it wrong, twisted it..something.

Lo and behold tonight, I actually take a look, and the muscle is puffed...right towards the front of the armpit. It aches, isn't TOO tender to touch, but is a little uncomfortable.

Ice? Heat? Does it really matter? And, can I make it feel better before I go exert it tomorrow? Remembering that I AM right handed?

I'm beginning to hear Marcus Cole in the back of my head, talking about the universe.

Hmmmm..I know when you strain a muscle it is usually ice, but if it is sore and overworked then heat helps....You can take something like Motrin every four hours and it will definitely lessen the pain only be careful because I once made the mistake of taking motrin before I worked out, when an ankle was sore and a bit swollen...big mistake. I ended up doing a lot of damage to it because I couldn't feel how bad it hurt during the workout.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what I've done to it. And, I'm wary, as most likely, I'll be playing with a fencing saber tomorrow afternoon.

I'll hope that whatever I've done, I don't exacerbate it.

Thanks...Motrin should be helping soon.

ice i would say with some ibus and some stretching, if that doesn't work try seeing a doctor.

Yikes! You're falling apart! :)

:-P Sure as hell feels that way. Will see, it's just another oddity added now.

[per_solo]

Will try and see. :-)

yes just be really careful because muscle injuries can take a loooong time to heal. Are you going to get it checked out? How is it today?

[per_solo]

I can't exactly get it checked out, but it does feel better today. Still a little rough.

Another point was made to me last night, about seeing if it's the deodorant I was using, so I've now changed that, too. Still tender on quick movements.

yes! Deoderant can do weird things. Once in a while it will make the lymph node I have under my arm swell up. It is SOOOOO weird. It goes away after a few days (maybe a week). Very bizarre.

:-) Today's entry has more info. Went to Dr., Staph Infection. Am getting it looked at more this afternoon, as Minute Clinic can't do anything with that.

Ugh.

WOAH!!!!! Not good!!!!

[per_solo]

Not good, but could be worse. Apparently, everyone picks up a staph infection sometime. At least, that's what one site said..and resistant strains are typically only found in hospitals.

Feel better, but tired. I'm guessing that's adrenaline having coursed through the system, and now just having left.

So, now to go find the place I'm supposed to be at.
