Help!! Neck / Shoulder Problem

emzy · 31-01-2008, 20:04

This is a strange one, but putting on my top today I must have twisted funny but felt a twang / crack somewhere at the bottom of my neck / between my shoulder blades and am in agony every time i move. Anyone any suggestions on how to ease the pain??

OUCH!! aks poor Lettie, she has just had a bad neck experience.

I had a very sore neck last year and some very nice person off here gave me volterol.....worked a treat.

Hmmmm, might have to get the boys to try and help it lol

Have you got a heat lamp?

No, nothing like that unfortunately. Im in agony with it, have been all day, pain killers not touching it. Probably got aggrivated more with having to pick my boys up form time to time but just dont know what to do

Sounds like you have just pulled a muscle Emzy .. nowt you can do but try pain killers every four hours. Just needs time to heal .. but will. Not a medic and slightly dangerous to ask us, but have done this many times drying me hair. Just try and relax to it, don't stiffen up too much as will affect other parts.

Relaxing for me is easier said than done with me and my 17 month old twins

I know bless, but try not to tense up so much whilst lifting them .. will only aggrivate the muscle and the other shoulder.

Hey, would love to see a photo of these twins at some time. Don't think we got a member on here (well, that we know off) with twins.

Ya not got any of that deep heat cream?

They are gorgeous little boys

Tried my best not to lift them today (although thats impossible) but even simple things like pushing the pram was painful enough. Am hoping that it might ease over night

(Its an old pic, not easy getting one of them together at their age on my own but will try and find one)

Oh my goodness Emzy .. they so handsome. Thanks for that, love babies.

Been in a position myself where you just have to carry on regardless, and you will .. that's what makes us women so strong.

This just a little hiccup .. but will be Ok in about a week, so no worries. x
