I was trying to read a book for the past hour to help me take my mind off the pain, when I finally realized holding the book and reading was making my symptoms worse. Even though I had propped the book on a pillow, holding it in front of me is more than I can bare right now. I thought I must be getting shoulder bursitis or something because my entire shoulder and arm were burning and hurting so badly.

I am so glad I got on line to read about bursitis because I jumped over to Neuro Talk after I didn't seem to fit the sysmptoms and read about the brugger posture. I just tried it by following an example on YouTube and it did bring some relief. I was afraid to try the posture for fear I could compress the artery worse or something but I am to the point I figure why not. I hurt so much now, just try it. I am glad I did. I just wish I could hold that posture but I can't for more than 30 seconds or so.
