Pain. My shoulder really fucking hurts this week, partly because I have gone cold turkey on the analgesics. This is how much it hurts whenyou're not doping yourself up on ibuprofin all day, I tell myself. It's good to know that, to have a baseline. Here is your baseline. Hello, baseline. Also, today, just for fun, I am having a small RSI flareup in my right hand, with pain and tenderness especially along the first two fingers and their attendant tendons. This is a new thing, actually, since usually I just have wrist stiffness. I am doing stretches. I am taking it easy. I am rolling my shoulders and making fists and splaying my fingers, but not too much. I am examining the bruise on the backside of my right hand and wondering if it is incidental or related. I am eyeing the bottle of ibuprofin in my drawer. I am eyeing the bottle of acetaminophen next to it as well.

get two tennis balls and put them in a sock. Tie the sock shut, tight. You can lie on this in various spots between your shoulder blades, on your neck, in that pocket between your arm and your torso if you lie on your side. It's cheaper than a massager from one of those fancy stores and just as effective.
