Ahhh shit, I think I really did something to my neck last night. Left side hurts like a mf, more than yesterday. Not really sure how to soothe it, I've never pulled something in my neck like this before. Of course it's got to be on the weekend...
Heat pack and panadol
Good tip with the heat pack, thanks. I have so much I wanted to do today but alas :/
Grab some Fisiocrem and lather it on and around the pain. I have regular neck pain and this is my go-to. Also, neurofen will be more effective if the pain is inflammation based.
I'd figure it's a pain/injury you're quite familiar with! Yeah, I go for nurofen 90% of the time, it's helped mask the worst of it. Thanks heaps for the gek recommendation, I might give that a whirl if it's what works for you
e: interesting that it has St John's Wort as an ingredient. I wonder if topical application would interfere with an antidepressant regime
Edit... Spelling ... It's actually called Fisiocrem
F. happens to me sometimes, tweak something in there by a seemingly random short movement and it seizes up. usually takes a couple of days to settle down.
no idea what causes it or how to fix it, hope this helps
I guess I should've read the release notes for the mid 30s edition of this body
they definitely pushed neck to PROD without a full round of testing
currently fumbling around for a hotfix, teaches me to get too excited about updates
😞 I did this two days ago. Upper back/lower neck area still really sore. Waiting for the chemist to open this morning to go get some voltaren
Think I might get me some voltaren too if this doesn't abate in a few hours. This is like a pinched nerve feeling. The nurofen is helping for now....
I'm now back on my couch and just popped my voltaren. Relief in T-minus 30 minutes
That must be so nice. The nurofen has dulled it for now but it still feels uncomfortable underneath the analgesia and now my eye sockets kind of hurt... v_v
