I went to the doctor today---actually, because it was Friday, I got to see his physician's assistant, who had x-rays taken of my cervical vertebrae...according to her, everything there is perfectly normal, my disks are all properly spaced, nothing pinched, no abnormalities.

She prodded my shoulder, and said that my muscles seemed to be spasming. She recommended an injection of steroids and lidocaine...I've been worn down enough by the pain that I agreed. The shot itself didn't hurt, but at the moment, I hurt more than I did before. Hopefully, this is temporary.

So, I'm missing yet another day from work. I'm still in pain, and my BP is a stratospheric 160/120. No wonder I feel like crap.

The cortisone helped enormously. This morning was the first time in weeks that I haven't woke up and immediately grabbed for the Excedrin. I filled the scrip for the muscle relaxers she gave me and I'm waiting for them to kick in. I've been warned they'll make me drowsy, but the worst case scenario is, I have to watch Harper's Island on DVR.
