I have not been to sleep yet because the pain in my neck/back/shoulders area was bothering me so bad that it hurt just laying down. I figured the massager would loosen up what was hurting, but all it did was make it worse. I ended up having to take a Davacet and I am STILL HURTING and cannot turn my head or get it outta the position it is in! I took it about 1am!
To boot my shoulders where the actual joint is... are swelled on both sides. You can feel the fluid when you poke it. I had hubby poke it to see if they were swelled and he said "Does this hurt? And yes." Yep... I had a fight with the cover and sheet and well to whole bed while trying to see which side hurt less to lay on. I cannot even touch my face my arms will not go that high or even close enough.
I am going to go try to get some sleep, but now the pain is up my neck to my ears and running down toward my boobers.
At least I might get 2 hours sleep before hubby comes home from work to take me to get my 3rd loading dose of Remicade today. My appt is at 1pm.
The picture below is of when I say neck/back/shoulder area hurts. The blue area is where I hurt when I say that.
I hope your infusion goes well and you are doing cartwheels friday
Hope you have a nice painfree weekend
No, no MRI yet. There has been talk of it, but nothing as of yet. Have not been back to GP since the beginning of October '07.
Sometimes I get headaches from it, mostly when it runs up the sides of my neck, like last night it went up to my ears, that is when I get a headache, but it goes away when I can move my head again.
Do you have a TENS unit by chance? I use mine on my lower back, but the other day I was hurting really bad up top and tried it on the side that hurt most. It really helped. I encourage you to get that MRI, and again, I hope you get relief soon.Thanks for the replies, relief has been made.
