Like most girls in this world, I sleep on my stomach. (Yes, not the best way to sleep, but definitely the most comfortable!) Ask around I bet 4 out of 5 girls/women will tell you they sleep on their stomachs. Anyway, it has definitely got me into trouble with my neck. Three years ago I woke up and couldn't move it, and only after 3 months of physical therapy was I feeling like myself again. That was quite traumatic. When I start to stress out, it will flare up and I can feel it starting to tighten. Side note: Biggest fear other than being sick on my wedding day is having this problem.
Monday I woke up and couldn't move....Great, here we go! Heating pad in the microwave, and I was off to the doctor. They prescribed me steroids and muscle relaxers. Sounds great, but that doesn't do anything for the PAIN!! It was going all the way down my arm. WTF! No bueno.
Cut to Wednesday. I haven't slept in two days and am in so much pain that the only way to relieve it is to lay on my back. SO here I am, working from home on my back with a heating pad. I go back to the doctor and he (finally) gives me something for the pain. My life is so much better right now. Now only if my dang neck would get better....
