Waves,

Re the reminder: . . .that can include some hope that things can get better.
I am hoping a lot for you and sending you lots of good vibes.

I'm doing a little better, all around.

I've found that the muscle relaxer I took for that cervical headache helps the shoulder a lot. My back may be involved.

I'm eating a bit more, so I could hazard taking Mobic, but want to see what sort of mileage I get from the muscle relaxer alone. I wonder it it could even resolve things with a few days' use.

Hi, Bizi,

Yes, I did at first think I injured my sholder, but it wasn't at all clear how. I didn't do anything strange. It just suddenly started acting up, and got quite bad. Then, it got better over the span of a week, with NO meds! Then, suddenly, it got really bad again!

The shoulder problems may all be due to the state of my neck/back, and it seems like it might be a case of muscular over-contraction -- otherwise the muscle relaxer would not have helped as much as it did.

I started taking Mobic (NSAID) tonight, and added a half-dose of tizanidine (muscle relaxer) in the afternoon. I'll see how that goes for a few days.

I need to start moving around more, too. Staying sitting and hunched at the computer all the time is probably at the root of all this.

waves who really likes staying hunched at the computer all the time.

I so understand all the pains. I have been having problems with one of
my shoulders when I try to lay down too. So its for me something
to do with sleeping. Heehee

I haven't been sleeping to well, thanks to aches and pains.

THanks, Donna. Yeah various of my moving parts are picky about how they get placed when I sleep. Some days when things act up it is hard to find a comfortable pose... and then not move.
