shoulder impingement

ah yes my hypermobile shoulders have now gotten the best of me. two days ago my shoulders were starting to hurt. later my head hurt as i was driving to work. i thought, here comes my migraine (in my shoulders) i dont know what i was thinking. anyways i would get bursts of pain shooting around my shoulders and also in my head. it was weird. i took medicine, i also put ice on my back. the next day in ballet i asked my teacher about the pain, she said it probably was from tense muscles in my neck/shoulder area. i sat out half the session putting icy-hot on my shoulders. i missed classes that day so i could go get a massage. the pain was that bad. though the massage felt good the pain still lasted through the night. i tried licorice tea as well as ice and heat packs. this morning i went to school, i was in pain. i thought i would miss my midterm because the pain hurt i couldn't think straight. i went to the health center at school and they said i would have to come back tomorrow. I had my therapy session and was still in pain. I decided to go to urgent care. now i have nausea as well. the UC doctor sent me to the ER just in case... i dont really know why. While at the ER the doctor did "excessive testing" as he put it. I had x-rays, a ct-scan of my lungs, and four viles of blood drawn. all to find out that it was impingement.

anyways this is a secondary condition to shoulder instability. yikes. now i definitely need physical therapy. im on it!

nightmares

its funny how health conditions can produce psychological problems. if i didnt know better my nightmare would still be terrifying me now and probably for a few days. i dreamt i was in an old battered house in simi valley and i was getting some old jewelry. i saw a figure outside and i went to yell at it. the figure ran inside, it happened to be a girl. but a man ran inside as well. instead of running after the girl, now i was running from the man. freaky. anyways i woke up and i was feeling hot. my hands and feet hurt. i feel woozy. i know my salt level is low. i eat some olives and drink some water. i get my blood circulating by doing a few stretches and i rub my hands and feet with some cream or lotion. i set the temperature in the house down a few notches. when i lay back down i will raise my feet up a little so that the blood will get to my brain better. now i have sweet dreams.


anyways, my body has been feeling good. the only thing bothering me this week is my back and shoulders being so sore that i end up getting migraines. and ive been lacking quality sleep. im moving though soon to my own room so i can have some solace. i need to add more to that solace and get my finances straightened out and have a financial plan so that i never have to freak out about rent or bills. ie: maybe i have to get a new job cuz my job isnt giving me enough hours. you do what you have to do.
