Which bit of you is hurting the most today?

monster · 06-17-2009, 08:26 PM

Today I have an inexplicable stiff neck. It came on less than an hour after I swam yesterday evening, went off over night and came back this evening.

jinx · 06-17-2009, 08:27 PM

My left hip, as usual.

Aliantha · 06-17-2009, 08:28 PM

My back, but it's a lot less hurty today than yesterday.

I'm so glad you asked!

My knee is killing me. I had the cartilage removed freshman year of college (an injury that ruined my HS senior year of basketball and track) and I don't usually have problems with it. It's killing me. But I am still taking the stairs at work. It's just scar tissue, it'll probably work it's way better.

eta: I just reread this and realized I said "killing me" twice, and what hyperbole to begin with! It's not really killllliinnnngggg me. It just freaking hurts.

my left forearm/elbow area. dunno if it's just sore from working out, or if i hurt it somehow. pass the advil.

jinx · 06-17-2009, 08:39 PM

You drink too much to take advil - see FDA new warning labels (guess they finally got around to checking these things out)

Shawnee123 · 06-17-2009, 08:42 PM

Guess you'll just have to drink more.

I'd heard that about ibuprofen but I didn't know the warning now covered the others as well.

lumberjim · 06-17-2009, 08:46 PM

drat!

Yeah, stomach bleeding vs liver damage... choose your poison.

monster · 06-17-2009, 08:49 PM

that's my take onpain too. i never take painkillers. Except alcohol

-at least that has disinfectant properties too. And preservative ones.

[eta] my right elbow is bloody killing me. Swollen up too. Been days.

Sundae · 06-18-2009, 03:27 AM

I've got the same pain in my thigh as I had last year.
I can't remember what the doctor said then, just that although it feels like I'm ripping things in there, I wasn't before so won't be now.

And I remember there wasn't anything specific I could do except wait for it to go away.
I have a regular appointment on Tuesday anyway, so I'll check it out with her.

Apart from that - not a hurt but some form of damage - my ear is leaking fluid again. It's nominally clear, but when I go to clean my ear the pokey stick gains a yellow tinge. And it smells.

I'm fine otherwise, thanks.

You're supposed to put the perfume BEHIND your ear!

My feet ache. Looks like they'd get rested overnight, but sometimes it seems like they hurt the most, first thing in the morning. Weird.
