Pain in the neck!!

[AmberCutie]

It was fun getting to just come on and chat with some of you on MFC yesterday! I hadn't done that pretty much ever, as far as not playing a game or flashing for tips. Just being there for pure giggles and conversation was relaxing.

My physical therapy appointment went really well. I went in there with very limited mobility in my neck and when I left I could tilt all the way to the side and turn my head all the way. I only had a little pain left. He seemed to work miracles! However, I woke up this morning and pretty much all that feeling is back, plus some bruising in the back of my neck from his techniques. I will be going in for another appointment with him tomorrow evening at 5 (Friday) so I won't be on MFC til later on after that. I am going to avoid taking the heavy medication that the orthopedic specialist prescribed as it does other really bad things to my body that I don't want if I don't have to use it.

I'm really sorry my schedule is so whacked this week. Once Mega May was over all I wanted to do was get back to a normal routine. But it seems there's "always something" getting in the way of my plans one way or another. I am going to attempt to get on camera tonight and do as usual of a show as I can. If it's too much to handle I'll log off, but I want to at least give it a shot. Thanks for all your well wishes and support.

Coming from someone who suffers chronic neck pain as well as other I can say your doing a great job not letting it get to you and keeping yout spirits up I hope you feel better and back to your old self again soon

Hmm... do you think that acupuncture could be a viable option? I don't think there's any medication that you would require after the sessions. Of course, I'm not well-versed in medicine so I shouldn't be suggesting that you do anything different.

Meanwhile, my shoulder and neck are as stiff as bricks right now, so I too need to see a doctor.

As SuperShyJimmy said, glad to see you're keeping your spirits up.

It was great chatting with you! After last month you really deserve a break from the "normal" routine. Jumping in for a little to chat makes everyone happy.

Jason, I would highly recommend going to a chiropractor. If you don't mind the joints going pop and follow their instructions you wouldn't believe the difference it can make. Mind you when I first started I was going 3x a week for 3 months, so it wasn't cheap. Also I left very sore and would get very stiff, but using ice packs as instructed worked great.

After my car accident I saw a chiropractor. I didn't like the session, nor the results, so I'll probably avoid ever going that route again. And as far as acupuncture goes, needles can stay the FUCK away from me!!

The physical therapist seemed optimistic that he could get the "trapped capsule" (I'm pretty sure that's what he called it) out so that the nerve could start healing. I have a good feeling that tomorrow evening's session will be the key to my recovery. Plus the ibuprofen} every 4 hours and maybe another muscle relaxer tonight at bed. (Even though that pill made me feel like a total zombie this morning so I dunno if I'll pop another one tonight or not.)

I think my MFC plan tonight will be to hop on around 5 or 5:30 and hang in free chat. I'll stay on an hour or two, strip for tips and maybe get some tokens here and there. If some tokens continue to flow maybe I'll stay on longer but I don't want to kill my newly high camscore too much by sticking around with no tips. I don't think I can do any dancing or my usual group shows. Given the fact that this started in a group show while I was masturbating, it's probably best not to do that again until I'm all better. So we'll just have to see how things go. Regardless it'll be fun to hang with you guys for a bit. I enjoy our conversation!

Well, I hope tonight does go well for everyone. I missed yesterday's quick chat session and it looks like I won't be able to make it for tonight's also, but only because of the time, not because of anything else. On the upside, just think... you'll have one less person, which means the chat will lag less.

I checked yesterday night to see if you were there but you weren't, so I assumed you were getting some well deserved rest.

By the way, how do offline tips affect camscore, if at all?

 

[AmberCutie]

Any tip, online or offline, can be rated in your "my account > token usage" section. All rated tips and privates help camscore

I'm sad you'll not be around tonight. Oh also, any update on that interview?

 

[Jason314]

Yeah, I've been rating the tips I've been giving you, but I didn't realize I could even rate the offline tips, especially when they're always saying "Rate this session". Interesting. Of course, that was probably in the MFC FAQ, wasn't it?

No update on the interview yet. I may not know next week, as far as I know.

I don't blame you for not wanting to go back to a chiropractor. When I was in my car accident, my chiropractor decided he could grab my ass. That was the last time I ever saw him.

I really hope you get better soon. Neck pain isn't any fun *gentle hugs*

 

[rastus024]

You just get well hun. Take it easy and get your health back in order. Thats whats important.

 

[WoW man]

hope you feel better soon

Thanks again, peeps. I was soooo excited that when I woke up this morning, the pain seemed to be like ALL gone. But now within an hour of getting up, it's right back to how it has been feeling since Thursday. I'm trying not to stress out, because I wanted to work 2 solid cam shifts before leaving for my trip Wednesday, but I don't want to chance making it worse before I have to drive for hours on end in a rental car. So I don't know if I will/should/can work tonight/tomorrow. I just feel so blah about it.
