Gettins Old Sucks...lol

[DianaB]

Sorry, Janet. I had a year, about 2001, where I felt like I was falling apart. I was in the hospital three times. Once for anxiety and blood pressure, once with pneumonia, and another time for surgery. It was awful!!

You may have a little bit of inflamation setting in for some reason. Take some ibuprophen for a while and see if it helps.

It's not fun getting older.

If the pain is about right at the deltoid muscle (where you get a shot in the arm), it may be your rotator cuff. Stand with your arm hanging down by you side (fingers pointed down to feet). Now, bend the arm at the elbow without lifting it at the shoulder. Now raise your elbow (straight out away from your body) so that it is level with your shoulder.

Do you feel pain in that part of your arm where you would get a shot? If so, it could be your rotator cuff that is impinged. Have you pulled anything heavy in the past few days/weeks? Rotator cuff impingments do not show up sometimes till weeks after the initial injury. Often rotator cuffs hurt at night when you are in bed or just when you are sitting doing nothing - a sort of dull ache.

This may not be it at all, but it is an easy way to check for it.

Janet i got the answer!!
We need to go get drunk!!!
Believe me ,you won't feel any pain !!!!!

I hope it is not her rotary cuff, that is painful.
Yes, maybe we need to get drunk and forget the pains for awhile.
I have had to go back on Vicodin, only take one every day or so when I can live with the pain any longer.
Getting old is not fun.

Give that baby a hug for me and tell his Daddy to take of him and the house while you relax.

I know how you feel Janet.
Went back to work after 6 weeks of lay-off last week.. gotta say they are kicking my butt. I am sore every day... Thinking about robbing a bank.. getting too old to work anymore! My body is just not up to it..

Haley, I am with ya! I was so sore and stiff today when I got home, I put in a CD (Leona Smith) and made a drink... then on the computer for a hour before I start laundry and dinner..

Can you see me standing up doing as you instructed?...LOLOL It's not that...no pain so far. I just don't know what it is, but I think I'm going to take an ibuprofen or a muscle relaxant tonight and see if maybe that will help. If not, I'll continue to take the ibuprofen for a few days and see. I need to start remembering what the heck I do that could cause an injury. My mother seems to be in better shape than me...LOLOL

[gja1000]

Well, I'm glad to hear there is no pain - no matter how silly you looked testing it! Hope it gets better soon!

[Janet]

Thanks Gayle....don't know what we'd do without you!!

[Gina]

Janet I hope that you feel better.. Haley change the drinks to wine and I will come over lol. I only drink cold beer in the summer with a slice of pizza...

[DianaB]

I don't drink so I'll be the designated driver!!!!
