So, I screwed up my neck somehow when I hit my head on my desk on Friday. It's now been 5 days and I have t felt any noticeable improvement in pain or movement (though to be fair, I'm beyond glad that my neck didn't go all the way out and treat me to excruciating pain.....I can turn my head to drive, but I'm gritting my teeth a tad when I'm doing it ).

Soo, since ibuprofen, at levels that won't kill my stomach, doesn't seem to be doing much, I bit the gullet and made an appointment for a chiropractor. It's one that does X-rays and all before they even touch you, but still it's a first. My only other chiropractor experience was when I was at friends wedding 19 years ago, and the grooms uncle noticed me holding my head at odd angle and grimacing and offered me on the spot adjustment. Desperation, since this was the year or 2 of Very Bad neck pain, had me saying yes without concern for negative side effects and ... It worked. My neck still went out but would actually go back in a couple of days.

So, fingers crossed. Cause I'd like to start working out without wondering if I'm going to be signing myself up for worse pain.
