That'll learn me...

Apparently I went a little too hard at the gym yesterday and pulled something in the back of my left shoulder. Because today? Has been agony. Filing with a pulled tendon is not a good thing especially when you have to lift boxes from a pile - I was tempted to beg off work at lunchtime, only we were insane busy again.

The roomie gave me drugs when I got home. This makes me... well, not happy, since still ow, but makes the Rossi somewhat less whingy.

I will be going to the gym tomorrow. The recumbant is your friend, since it doesn't need arms.

yeah. Judging from the sharpness of it, it's more than just the usual sore muscle pain - I've done something that hurts likes blazes. So much, in fact, that I'm piking on work today; the job requires lifting and I raise my arm above halfway. Putting on a shirt was a bugger. :(

*nods* Better to pike on work then make it worse. Hopefully, today will be the worst it'll be and it will start healing itself back up. (Everything always seems to hurt the worst the day after you do it.)

Hmm, wish I knew more about treating sports injuries. I tend to just slather them in eucalypsus(sp?) smelling goop and lay about on the couch whinging about the pain till they get better. *grins*

Most sports injuries (read strains from over-use or over-extension) need heat, rest and anti-inflammatories such as Neurofen for the pain and swelling. So the eucapyptus-smelling goop is good. :)

Things like bruises, sprains (like when you twist your ankle) etc are best with ice, elevation and rest. :)

Or at least that's what ten years of martial arts injruies have taught me. :)
