8/23 - woke up in middle of night and took meds to get back to sleep,
woke up in AM, after oversleeping, with tightness in arm and no time to work it out as I was late for work.
Never really got the morning tightness out; experienced a number painful eposodes during the day in addition to the ache from first waking.
720PM and the ache is there and will most likely not subside until I take my meds this PM.

couldn't afford that!. fourtunate enough to have a 15.15 (prime plus) but not fourtunate enough to work out my anticipated payoff plan. recession suks and i fear stagflation. The fed has been pretty wary of this scenario as well, it would seem. da oil as as tax senario must be quite a shock to some; lambs to the slaughter for the naives of monetary policy and ricardian economics. not that long since my last post-nothing postive to report

Back home now, mostly just dull ache for the afternoon. Did nothing physical today, and I think that recovery time was good. certainly was better than my weekend, which had lots of moments. Mental exercises tonite, these are somewhat useful. BTW They come from a reputable source, a true professional and expert in the field - a theorist, practicioner, and published researcher; And an esteemed former colleage of mine. Thanks -snip-; I can honestly say your help is as good or better than any paid professional I've dealt with in the last few years. Shoulder pain persists, right in the joint, and I found myself trying to loosen up my knee joint a little earlier.

lower arm was bit better during the middle of the day, but shoulder socket still has that nasty sting down deep.
The facia muscles seem to be the looser, what bothers me is that there are some deep knotty things between my shoulder and elbow that I can't get to. Sure wish Laura was her to work on me. Come to think of it, she owes me a massage. Speaking of L.O. and her employer Dr. Massey - I've about had it people disparaging the chiropractic profession. Suzanna spent just as much time in Med school as any other Dr. Pass not one but two state licensing boards, and knows a lot more than about her specialty than most GPs could possibly handle. And talk about facilities, She's got ultrasound, xray, and other equipment that the yokels around here don't have in their office. Link

back home. the arm loosened up a bit during the day. got to hit some pressure point and work on it while I was driving to chapel hill. still big lump that ain't there on my other side. Can't shake that shoulder pain, though.

morning started out ok, just achy. Then when I was getting into my car I had this sharp pain in my shoulder socket like weeks before (the needle in the socket pain). I hurt for about twenty minutes like this, then settled down a bit. Just a bad start to the day. I shied away from much physical today and only had a 5 or 6 time when there was more than the ache. Tried to get some tension out of the those knots in arm and that makes if feel sore, but seems pretty neccessary as big as a couple of those knot seem to be. Just about out of meds too, better plan on calling in the rx; better do this and plan on a double dose on Monday. reminder to self, make that call monday am.

just sore this am, then started to do some work around the house. took meds, which I try to avoid during the day. went to the store and got some bad position getting my stuff inside. had three sharpi sharp pains just getting my gear in the house. One of my buds stopped over, I took another med.
after effects from the bad moving expierence, doing some cleaning; Arm muscles are sore but seem about average - the shoulder socket is, like, a needle wiggling aroung inside.

guess I fell asleep last nite before my entry. Not much new, still hurt all nite long.
Am was even worse- muscle do get tighter while asleep. Had a morning yawn, which put the arm in a most painful position. Took meds at 1030, hope they work.

After the morning workout, and the episodes of joint pain it caused, I was in about 3 times more pain than upon waking. what's worse is that it just expanded, from the shoulder that was hurting in the early morning, to the elbow, arm muscles, and my knee joint.
To top it off, the cart which is supposed to be in the van (BTW that's a confirmed documented item on the van inventory) wasn't, which meant less mechanical advantage, more physical work on my injured body, and more time. { on a POM side bar LinkLink; That means the person who was taking the tools out of the van when I was in FS and never returned them to the proper place, the one who shows up for installs without fittings of all things, the one who wont be bothered to pay attention to the technical reference on xroom wiring, has again hindered the production process - this time as before, to my detriment. }.

Long day, took meds in am about 11 and at about 640p, and planned at bedtime. talked to DR office agan today-advised of and consulted on dosage and inquired as to to change of med or addition of co-agents to increase efficacy, per request of managers. advised of vigor requred in last few days of duty and neccesity to use meds during day at dosage of 600-900 mg, that third dose is just to get thourgh the daylight. Hope the physical activitiy is helping but prefer not to mask the pain for fear that damage is being done- plus, I don't like to be on pills as a matter of course (vitamins, minerals, and natural supplements excluded). I think I'm making too many typos/corrections, so please excuse. day started with the same old tightness and general pain, but particular pain in my shoulder and behind my left knee, whatever munisci goes behind on the lower left. number ot owweees today- started with door catching, one odd movement which I can't recall now I can definetl feel an angle and elevation element of movement in my arm which produces more pain), I mooved some leveling mix ok, but that started to hurt (mix on gound, twist bag to dispense), At one point i was shouldered against a rolling vacume scraping with mu right arm and just jogging my self along to aleave the the strain. I definitl avoided ladder work, and will continue as needed wrt overhead movement and med side effects. did my best on floor level! worse now that I've settled, just a constant pain in should3er like needle in joint. Took meds hours ago, seems to help muscles and elbow, but shoulder is still in pain. will see what am brings.

Just lovely, pulling the frying pan from the stove causes shooting pain and aching pain in arm. I doubt it is the force involved, but the angle.
