For Those Who Dislike Me......

[Mayhem]

....feel free to rejoice because I'm in a shitload of pain, and it ain't going away anytime soon.

I ***** on my side(s) a lot. A couple weeks ago I got up with a twinge under my shoulderblade. Of course, it's just a thing and it'll go away. Nope. Apparently I've got a nerve back there all kinds of jammed up. It started in the shoulderblade and has worked up my right arm. So my shoulder is fucked, my right forearm feels like it's caught in a vice (very, very uncomfortably) and I keep losing feeling in one or more fingers.

Of course, this happened right in time for the biggest poker dealing gig of the year, I start a second job in a week....and this **** will not loosen up and go away. If you're a poker player, or have watched on TV, watch how the dealer pitches the cards without moving their arm. Having feeling in your fingers is a crucial element in this maneuver.

I hired one of the roving masseusses for 20 minutes of excruciating agony, came home, took Aleve (twice), put an ice pack on it for 20 minutes.....and nothing has changed. I thought the massage would at least get me started. It really didn't change anything.

Luckily it hasn't noticably fucked up my dealing...yet. But I can notice that I'm sloppier than usual, even if my players can't. Hopefully a couple more 20 minute massages will eventually help. If not I may have to go the medical route and I am just dreading the **** out of that.

That's no good, man. A chiropractor might be more effective than a masseuse.

Money, money, money. They require it, and I don't have enough of it. What was supposed to be a pretty good year got screwed a couple months ago. Anyway, It will take the work that I have to suffer through to get the money to pay the chiro, so that I can get back to doing my job. And like squallumz says, not all chiropractors know what they're doing. I'm not sure that I want to go to the strip-mall that fits my budget.

I'll be your chiropractor.

People may dislike you on here, but I doubt anyone would rejoice because you're in physical pain. That would be an example of taking the Interwebz a little too seriously.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned trying a chiropractor. Nerve damage isn't something you want to fuck with.

I've never had a dislike for you man. Maybe I'm an outsider looking in on the joke, but I hope things workout for you.

It's cheaper than one might think. It worked for a good friend of mine.

squally is right. when it comes to time to see one definitely do your research and try to find one who is known to be good at dealing with shoulder problems. i'm not sure how it is where you live but there's an abnormally high number of very competent chiropractors per capita in my part of the world...

I decided that since I'm in pain and it sucks, I was entitled to a one-time-only "Sam-thread". Self-indulgent, self-promoting, attention seeking......hell, why do I need to explain it?

Anyway, it was my attempt at irony.....or something.

Maybe acupuncture? I have a coworker who's a licensed acupuncturist and he's told me all about how it can help people in pain. I would do it for my ailments, but, like I told him, if you wanna see the world's biggest pussy show me a needle.

Have you thought of seeing a chiropractor?

 

[Mayhem]

Actually, I think I'll look up the local acupuncturists and see what the price on that is. I've always believed in it but never had a reason to seek it out. Now might be a good time.
