I woke up this morning absolutely fine. After about 20 minutes I was in agony. Didn't do anything in particular to injure myself - was just making a sandwich and ping that was it. Pain in the left side of my neck,down my shoulder, to my shoulder blade and down the top of my left arm. Kind of feels like a trapped nerve. If I try to look up the pain is horrendous.
I have been sat all afternoon with ice packs on the painful area - recommended by a friend. It seems to help for a couple of minutes then the pain returns.
It's ridiculous - I'd understand it if I'd lifted something heavy or slept awkward but I haven't. It's getting me down now. Really restricting my movement and the pain is making me feel sick.

Dh has been nagging me all day to go to the doctors. I kept saying there's nothing they'll be able to do and that it may go on it's own. Starting to wish I'd listened to him now. It's gone 6 on a Friday night - no chance of seeing anyone now.
I'm supposed to be starting my new job on Tuesday.
