Mr. Silver.... Tell Silver daughter "Roll tide" GOOD! Auburn.... BAD!!!!!

Now back to Brandi....
So sorry chickie poo! Feel better!

Brandi - a doctor of osteopathy could help, they tend to do things on a more soft tissue/gentle level that could still work well for you. It really sounds like one of the ribs in the very high part of your upper back is not moving properly. You might need help with this.

Hope you feel better soon.

Brandi - warm rice bag with lavender on your sore neck AND DH feeding you strawberries.

So it's the morning after, how are you feeling? I find shoulder rolls help somewhat, but I've done the same thing. The best I've found are warm packs and time help the most. Still remember way back when, I worked in an ER in an Osteopathic hospital, had a "crik" in my neck, Doc notice it, and round about 2 am when things quieted down, he sent me to an exam room, we were chatting, my head is off the table resting in his hands, being rolled around, and he asked "when's your birthday", my response was "June twenty-$!*t" First time ANYONE had ever cracked my neck. Took him another hour to sneak up on me to crack the other side. But I got better.

If you can find a chiropracter you trust, they should be able to help you. Unfortunately I haven't found one around here. I've had really good care, and really bad care - worthy of "crack-o-practer" in the past, so I won't go see anyone without referral from a happy patient.

Really, I hope you're feeling better and the visit with friend and her 2 yr old goes well.

Oh, Brandi! I'm sorry, that must feel awful!! I'm sending hugs and big relaxing, healing butterflies....

How are you feeling today? Any better?

Have this kind of problem in my lower back occasionally. Probably has different causes--in my case, spending too much time sitting and working at my desk and not enough other kinds of activity.

So I can't offer any ideas for convalescence, other than to take care of yourself, let the Mr. take care of you, and relaxxxxxxxxxx. Hope you're feeling better soon!

I get this in my neck too, it sucks. Luckily my chiro will work on me when is siezes. Lots of moist heat and very gentle manipulation.

I hope you feel better today.

Hope you feel better soon.

My neck and shoulders tend to seize up whenever I'm not keeping my upper body mobile enough. It's been showing the last few weeks as I've increased cycling and running...and slacked off aerobics. Waving my arms around for an hour a few times a week really helps keep me looser up there.

HiJack # 2: She loved Alabama yesterday...I made a disparaging remark about Auburn in jest...but she wasn't amused

Brandi: How's your neck?
