I dont know if I can rest. This really freaking hurts!

Either I broke my head, or I tore some sort of muscle or ligament that's at the back of the skull just above the neck. (is there a muscle or ligament back there?) It's right on the back on the head. The last time I felt pain like this was when I ruptured my achilles tendon. (that actually hurt worse than this, but this is about a 8.1 on the pain scale...ruptured achilles tendon was an 11.5 on the scale of 1 - 10)

I've been taking Flexeril for it. When I first noticed it, I'd been taking my Midrins (migraine headache pill, has tylenol and something else in it) That worked for a couple of days, but the pain has gotten worse since last night. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

I cant believe how easy it is for me to sprain or strain or rupture something.

I just hope they dont want to MRI me for this, because I dont like MRI's. I guess if they insist on MRIing me to see if I tore anything, I guess I'll tell them to poke me with some gadolinium while they're at it and look for MSish stuff. My dad is all worried that they're going to MRI me. (expensive! I'd rather not, I'm claustrophobic)

My dad said to put heat on it, that it should help it...but the whole Heat + MS = more numbness/MSish symptoms....I'm not sure I want to do that.

I cant wait to get my new desk built in my room...I cant believe I've injuried myself trying to get my room cleaned out to get my computer cabinets out of the room. Plus, I'll have more storage for all the crap that's currently spilling out of my computer cabinets.

I guess it's a battlescar from trying to corral all of my junk. I give up...I'm tossing a lot of this junk out rather than store it.
