Don't know what to do with myself. Supposed to be (well I am ) working bjt sitting at desk is agony. Seeing chiropractor next week. Taken ibuprofen. Applied ice but feel sick with pain. Any tips? Would you call GP and ask for strong painkillers ? Im I'm such pain. Radiating down my arm too. I've seen chiro Monday and I think it's because dog pulled me suddenly trying to get at a cat and this shoulder was previously dislocated. Argh. Not sure why I'm posting tbh. Just feel sick and alone and sorry for myself

Physio said there are three grades of severity of muscle tension and I was the worst and did amino massage (lots of small prodding rather than sweeping)
I have friends in America. Wonder if I can get them to fed ex me some of those tablets ?!
Bowen is new to me. I'll have a google.
I've just done (well tried - can't put my chin to chest ) some yoga for neck and low back - low back is buffered now after sofa sleeping. DH gone out playing cricket , DS1 working (he's not 1 year old - 16) and DS 2 gone off to see friends.
I may watch more tv in a cocoon of cushions and buy a new pillow.
The company and support here means more than you know. Honestly

How are you @blackclouds ? Mine has got worse. Feeling pretty despondent right now.

Have you even had an x-ray? That sounds like when I dislocated my collarbone at the AC joint.

I'd be staying well clear of anybody wanting to pop and crack or tell me it's all in my head. The most helpful thing I had once it popped back into place was a physio pinching the belly of the muscle until it released and then doing the rehab exercises - bastarding bands - combined with the shaped neck pillow.
