Why do I do this to myself?

Trying to rearrange the living room. I knew I should wait for hubby to get home to help, but I wanted to *surprise* him. I moved the couch by myself. Now I've pulled something all through my neck and back. Can't turn my head or move my arms above about shoulder level.

Damn. :mad:

1. omg - I can empathize

I'm out sick due to a bad back (two herniated discs). Ice it!! motrin (if you can take it, and you may need to see the M.D. if not feeling better soon.

Take care and don't be too hard on yourself. We all do silly things.

2. I'm sorry to hear about your back

I immediately took 3 advil. I hope that does the trick and stops the swelling before it gets too bad.

You take care as well. :hug:

3. Be careful with that!!

What ever you do, don't try to exercise it out, work it out, or massage it. Take it from me. Maybe rest... and ice it (but cover the ice with a cloth) for 15 mins at a time.

Hope you heal soon. That is a similar injury I've been fighting since the middle of last summer. :hug:

4. No massage?

Dang. I was going to play the sympathy card and get hubby to give me a neck rub. That's a no-no with a pulled muscle?

5. If it's just a pulled muscle, sure

Mine, unfortunately, included nerves & a bone spur. :-( I hope your injury is not as serious. :hug:
