Ow my fucking shoulders.

[kellinator]

My shoulders are hurting like a motherfucker. Especially first thing in the morning when I wake up. Of course, now I've been up for three hours and taken ibuprofen and they're still hurting.

Every so often this happens. The last time it really did in earnest was around the end of June. Not even a massage helped much. But I noticed after I got back from my vacation in San Francisco that they weren't hurting anymore, so I kinda assumed it was a sign of high stress.

Well it's not even October and the pain is back. In fact, my shoulders are so fucked up that attempting to use the percussion massager on them left me moaning in pain. I don't think I have time this week to schedule a massage, I don't have time or money for a vacation, and it's the beginning of another big fun work week.

If you see me, kindly try to break my shoulders for me.

I went through that, about two years ago. When I wasn't sleeping at home, the pain eased up.

My solution ended up being $900 on a new mattress and box springs. You might think about that - when I replaced my set, they were over 10 years old.

Not what you want to hear, I know.

Well, right now I'm sleeping on my landlords' mattresses, but maybe if I switch to my mattress it'll help... Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your shoulders. I've had that problem for the last 2-3 years, chronically, and have found some relief through various means. I try not to dispense advice (especially if I have a lot of it) unless someone asks for it, though. Let me know.

Actually, any advice you have I'd be happy to hear!

Sounds like a good suggestion. If it's happening just in the morning that's quite possibly the problem.
Also might try a little yoga in the morning, stretch and relax before dealing with law students all day. =)
