Ipsey Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Oh, no. I was holding my head wrong when I tried to pull a hoodie over top of myself, and I am now in serious pain. This was about 3 hours ago. It's horrible. What should I do? I'm Googling, but if anyone here has other ideas too, I'd be every grateful. I'm supposed to take my kids to a play tonight, but I don't think I'm going to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Oh man. I did that a few weeks ago. It was awful and I couldn't even make the slightest neck movement for days. :( when I finally got in to see my chiropractor he said I should have alternated between heat and cold. Heat for pain but cold to prevent inflammation. I didn't do cold, only heat, and while it felt good while the heat was applied it ended up putting me in even more pain (and less range of motion) due to inflammation. Learn from me- not too much heat. Other than that, nothing worked for me and I had to get to my chiropractor for relief. I'm sorry this happened to you. It is horrific pain. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 My mom got bursitis in her shoulder one time and was able to get therapeutic massage covered under her insurance. So if you are still in pain by Monday (let's hope not!), I would see if you can get a referral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Take advil/motrin. You may need to go to a doc for a muscle relaxer. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 My chiro would say ice on for 20 min, then off for 40 min. Do all weekend whenever possible, then call Monday for an appt if it's not better. Hope you're better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipsey Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Thank you! I'm off to find the heating pad and a bag of frozen peas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
