discussing pain is NOT whining, Gazelle.
you already tried a heating pad. or ice packs?
sometimes alternating them works for me...
if not, then I haul myself to the chiro.
if *that* doesn't fix things, then... to a GP.
keep pushing until you get some answers...
pain is a signal something's wrong, and stiff-upper-lipping it isn't healthy for your soul, dear.
