…goes on, literally.  I don’t know when it happened, or how it happened but it happened, and it hurts.  Last night I was watching TV, and when I sat down I was fine, I had no aches, no pains.  I guess I sat for an hour or two and when I got up my shoulder felt stiff.  I moved it around and it seemed a little sore however by the time I got to the bedroom and started to get ready for bed, I couldn’t even raise my arm up to wash my face.  Wow, that hurts.  I felt like I had pinced a nerve and each time I forgot and raised my arm, the pain would practically bring me to my knees.  I took some Aleve and went to bed, but had a real hard time getting comfortable.  I did fall asleep, however I must have moved the wrong way and whoa, I was wide awake.  I couldn’t get comfortable, so up I got and got the heating pad,  Wrestled with that for a while, but that really didn’t help as when I moved, it moved.  I did get through the night and hot footed it over to the drugstore this morning for Heat Therapy Patches and Extra Strength Backache Relief Pain Reliever.  I love the patches as they have a sticky side that holds them in place, and the extra strength Analgesic Caplets has so many warnings on them, they have to be good.  I am able to lift my arm, although it still hurts, but if I improve as much tomorrow as I did today,  I think I should be fine in a few days.  It just makes me wonder how we do nothing out of the ordinary, and yet we develop pulled muscles, sore joints, pinched nerves and the like.  I wouldn’t mind if I had pulled or pinched something  if I had accomplished a hole in one or played a good tennis match, or swam 50 laps in the pool,  but I accomplished nothing, I was just sitting in the chair, I wasn’t even holding a book.  I can’t imagine what my shoulder would be like if I actually used it. I hate when someone says, it’s the sign of old age, it just happens.  Perhaps I should feel good, if it is only old age then with a little help from  those stick on “Heat Therapy” patches and “Analgesic Caplets”, I  should be once again good to go, which means  comfortable sitting back in my chair watching TV.
