She's not my number one fan.
It's the muscle hurting you?
All I can think of is that you slept on it wrong, and pinched a nerve or cut off the circulation. Or you injured it yesterday and it got stove up in the night and now it's hurting. Do you carry anything heavy with that arm? Is there any swelling?
Either way, I'd just pop about 4 regular strength Advils (if you don't have a history of ulcers, kidney or liver problems) and see if that will help. Don't drink any alcohol...Advil stays in your system for at least 8 hours.
If that helps, take 2-3 Advils every 4-6 hours as needed. If it doesn't help, call a doctor. If it doesn't go away in 2-3 days, call a doctor.
Oh, and of course if anything changes...like the circulation in your hand seems compromised or if your arm starts to swell...get thee to a physician ASAP...like the ER.
*pounds forehead on table*
FOUR ADVILS!?
*grin* I'll go out at lunch and pick some up.
It must have happened in my sleep. I know I tend to sleep on my side with my arm outstretched under the pillow. Maybe my head is heavier than I thought!
But I didn't.
But dang! Lookit yer word count!
Yeah. I vented last nite and killed a bunch of characters.
I really like that poster...
I was seriously thinking about buyin' me one...
Yes...take four 200mg Advils. We actually give 800mg Ibuprofen tablets in the hospital to orthopedic patients. If it's really hurting you, you can take that much. I usually use that much as a "loading dose" to get the pain knocked down quick, but then maintain with a lower dose.
See, Advil is more than just a pain killer...it's a major anti-inflammatory agent. By inhibiting the inflammation, it diminishes the pain and actually promotes healing. Inflammation tends to snowball...if you can inhibit it, you heal up quicker.
Take the Advil with something on your stomach, though...it's extremely hard on the stomach.
I'm having my lunch now and running for Advil right after.
Thanks so much, sis!
Oh yeah....Empress called at about 11:10 en route from the airport. Meeting at TheRestaurant at around noon-ish.
You're meeting her today? cool!
Yeah....in a little bit.
Say hi to her from us all...
Ok, so who are they?
