Pain Getting In the Way

I have not been to the gym this week. I have been experiencing a lot of shoulder and neck pain. I haven’t been able to sleep very well. This morning I didn’t get up because I was so tired. I guess I was so tired that the pain no longer woke me up. That is precisely what was happening all last night. Every time I fell asleep, my shoulder and neck pain would wake me up. Around 8 am, I was so tired I just stayed in bed. I slept till about 10:30.

I have since been cleaning my house. It has been a mess for the last few days. Not to mention that the cat loves to tear up paper and other things. She makes a real mess. Sometimes I hate her. Anyway, I don’t think I’m going to the gym today. Maybe tomorrow. I’m not sure I can do anything besides cardio and maybe legs. My shoulders keep me from working with my arms. So that knocks out chest, back, and shoulder workouts for right now.

I am supposed to begin physical therapy next week, but I don’t think it will help. I think I want to do something else. I think MRIs should be taken. I really feel like I may need surgery or something. I just don’t think PT is going to work.  The sensation feels like bone grinding and getting snagged or hung on something. Not only is it painful, it is uncomfortable.
