I normally don't ask for advice and stuff on here... but I've been going nuts today...
I've been having back spasms and stuff off and on, and went to the doctor a week and a half ago... she gave me a muscle relaxant scrip and sent me on my way... (I'm going to find a new doc, BTW... I'm just not that impressed with her)
So, sometime last night, I felt a pop in my left shoulder... thought nothing of it since joints pop on occasion as one gets older (my body is out of shape, and I'm almost 35... erg!!). So, this morning, I get up and my shoulder doesn't like moving very much, namely forward-up and out-up. Oddly enough, I can go back-up with less pain.
I'd let this run its course except one small problem: I work tomorrow and I'm a library page, meaning I shelve books... rut-roh.
So, this morning, I took two Aleve (the others don't help me any more.) thinking it would go away... it hasn't.
What I'm wondering is if the muscle relaxant might help? I don't want to take too much of this stuff too often (really need to get my ar$e in shape), but this is bizarre.
If I can make it through tomorrow's shift, I can beg my acupuncturist to look at it... she's also my massage therapist... and man, she's brutal!!
So, do you think the relaxant would help at all? It's 'spensive stuff (my co-pay was 60 bucks).
