Did you get it checked by a Doc?
My Mom fell after Christmas and she’s on heavy pain killers right now.
That stuff takes forever to heal it seems.
Best wishes to you!

I've had both tendonitis and adhesive capsilitis. It made writing high on the chalkboard very difficult. I needed physical therapy both times. The phone nurse told me to stop moving my arms and imobilize it. It was the worst advice. I was supposed to keep doing the range of motions so it wouldn't lock like it did. You need to see your doctor so they can figure out what you have. The therapy for both conditions are quite different. .-= musings´s last blog ..Project: Pinbag =-.

I wish I could offer a solution Quilly but I cannot except for the litter and 6 gorgeous hunks that will carry you and meet your almost every need. They are ripped strong, looking like Greek/Roman Gods and talking like a Frenchman (Am I helping yet?) Oh Yeah they travel light and eat almost nothing so keep them as long as you need! OK? .-= amanda´s last blog ..Thurday 13: I Remember Wildflowers…. =-.

I agree with Melli and Thom, but there was a time when I lived on Icy Hot or Absorbine Jr. patches (I preferred the latter but couldn't always find them). But they were great in that, because they stayed on for hours, the medicine in them stayed against your skin. Hope you feel better soon! .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Booking Through Thursday: Gifts =-.

I think Thom’s idea is the best! There are pains that need to be rested… there are pains that need to be worked through… and there are pains that require a shot of cortizone! I’ve had all 3. If It’s a pain that needs to be rested, putting it in a sling may help. But I one time rested a pain that needed to be worked through — then it got so bad my shoulder locked up and I had to have cortizone so that I COULD go ahead and work through it. And still I didn’t learn. The next year my other shoulder did the same thing … and I did the same thing. It FELT like it needed to be RESTED!!! See a doctor Quilly.

David’s physical therapist told him to use a pillow under each shoulder while lying on his back when he goes to sleep. Seems to help.

I suffer if I don't take a morning dose of 400mg ibuprofen. Six years of plantar fasciitis has made me a regular user! I am sorry you are suffering. .-= kcinnova´s last blog ..Random Dozen (first of 2010), in which it is revealed that I am a whiner =-.
