Those who know me well will know I have a history when it comes to neck problems. To cut a long story short, I've injured my neck, my muscles are in a spasm and I'm in a LOT of pain and am trying to keep using a computer to a minumum to allow my neck to heal. I'm typing this after taking a very powerful anti-inflammatory and my neck STILL feels like it's on fire. So I'm probably gonna be a little scare for a while. I was planning on coming back to updating, but now that's going to have to be post-phoned until it doesn't hurt to type... Starath's moderating this forum in my absence, so everyone play nice ( I know you will. ) See you later...
It'll probably be a while till you see this, but get well soon Sapph. Neck pain is a real pain in the neck **dodges flying waffle**
In a vaguely related matter, my friend recently came out of surgery for his lower back. They scraped out some bone that was squashing a nerve in there causing some massive inflammation. He's able to walk without the slightest bit of pain again for the first time in weeks.
So although I'm fit and feeling fine, I kind of know what it's like. Take care and get well soon.
Hi, i was out of the loop for a few weeks on the board but now i'm back on track. I hope your neck feels at least a bit better now i know these things can take time to fully heal. Don't stress it too soon after you feel a clear recovery though, i did it once with my hurt/strained knee and went straight back to sick leave for another week.
Yikes. I hope your neck heals soon. I do know how that feels... I've had pain like that in my back after slipping on ice. It lasted for two weeks.. but the neck is the worst place. *nudges her Maxies and Preds to make them say "Hope you get well soon."*

Thanks for the kind wishes, everyone. I've some good news. So far, today's been the first day that my neck hasn't been killing me. The pain and swelling's gone right down, so much so I can type for longer without being too troubled. I'm still going to take it easy for a few more days (don't want to put it back in square one again, after all) but I *think* I can say I'll be back to my Internet-active self again in a week or so. Here's hoping!
