Anyone got a spare spine?

And no, I don’t mean in a ‘courage’ sense…

I make no bones about the fact that, for whatever reason, I have bad problems with my neck and shoulders. This has been complicated by a torn muscle about halfway down my left side via some surgery many years ago. Usually, I just have to watch how I sleep and I’m pretty good.

Last night a friend of mine, trying to show how tired she was, very heavilly laid her head on my left shoulder, and assumed that the ‘ow’ I gave was purely comic in affect. It really, really wasn’t. I dreamt last night that I had my spine twisted in horrid ways, and I woke up this morning feeling as if I could barely move my left arm.

If the pain were more intense, it’d probably be worth a pitting, but at the moment, it’s just bad discomfort from neck to hip on my left side and down my spine. Anyone have a spare I can borrow?

You’re a pirate right? Just steal one :smiley:

(seriously though, have you tried seeing a chiropractor? They may be quacks, but maybe it’s worth a shot?)

Don’t really have the cash to see a chiro, or I would. Used to have a good one until… Well, my friend worked for him, my friend got fired, my friend got ‘vengeful’ about being fired… My friend and all of his friends are no longer welcome there.

I’ve been given some stretching exercises that tend to make the pain lessen for a while, but it grabs me when I’m under stress, and I’ve been stressy for about a week now.

As for stealing one… Pirates don’t steal backs, they steal booty! :slight_smile:

“Buddy can you spare a spine?”

Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.
