If you are a long-time listener to our show, you may remember Jesse and I going to a sponsored chiropractor for an adjustment and the doctor asking me if I’d ever been in a serious car accident - which I haven’t.  He also asked if I’d ever had a bad shoulder injury - which I haven’t - and told me my clavicle was dropping.  Mr. Good News.  So admittedly, I’m a physical mess.  LOL.

Due probably to my 36 years of inactivity, I have a unique talent of being able to, without really doing anything to trigger it, mess up my shoulder or lower back.  I had a different chiropractor tell me it has something to do with a nerve at the top of my neck. 

The shoulder gives me trouble the most often and it’s usually triggered by sleeping wrong.  Conscious of this, I’ve been on the lookout for a contour pillow.  They’ve always been WAY too expensive, but last weekend I found one at Sam’s Club for a price I could live with.  I was very excited to try it out that night.  The next morning I woke up… and couldn’t move my head.  Neck pain, shoulder pain, the works.  Terrific! 

It’s been a rough week.  Those of you who’ve dealt with this before know all you can do is wait it out.  Usually it takes a day or two for the pain to go away, but luckily for me… it’s lasted all week. 

Ouch! I’m going to the gym today either way.
