tendons and muscles and nerves and me

[substitute]

My shoulder is trashed. It really hurts, just about all the time. Doctor on Friday. I feel like an idiot for not going weeks ago when it wasn't that bad. I hope I don't have double secret rotator cuff explosion requiring Civil War surgery with a saw.

I have a bad habit of doing the boiled frog and making something like this normal until I suddenly realize that it's very abnormal. In this case I was feeling a bit nauseated from pain and unable to find a comfortable position ever before I called the doctor. Doh.

Ow ow, OW.

I know what you mean about just letting pain become normal. I ignored my Tennis Elbow for two months before it became bad enough that it was disturbing my sleep. Sleep time is too precious, and that finally got me to the doctor. brainflak has a remarkable capacity to ignore pain, much to my consternation. He'll let months stretch into years without doing something about pain that would make me whine like a dog. He never really believes that the doctor can help. My experience is that they can. So hang in there. I'm glad that you've got an appointment.
