i officially do not have a pulled muscle.  i actually went to the quack this morning becasue I cried every time I moved, and it was *worse* rather than better 5 days on.

the quack says I have a pinched nerve in my neck.  I can expect it to get better in *one or two weeks*.

i am now offically feeling sorry for myself.

(he gave me some strong painkillers to take at bedtime though, seeing as I get better as the day goes on, so it must be something i am doing in my sleep, so if i sleep very heavily and maybe don't thrash about so damn much i might get better.)

blah.

Oh NO! Poor you. Take the drugs and perhaps as a result you'll thrash about in your sleep less? Also, are you going to get any kind of personhandling-therapy in these one or two weeks or has the NHS officially told you to shut up and sit still?

well, i'm hoping he meant from when it started, which was 5 days ago.

it was improved by a little gentle exercise (collecting the boys from nursery [on foot] and school [in car]) which was exactly what he said would happen. and he also showed me how to do teeny tiny little neck stretches.

in fact just walking home from the quack's this morning and swinging my arms as I walked stretched it out a bit.

it's quite bad again now after my pattern cutting class, but it was worth it.

dihydrocodeine taken, let's see what happens now!
