Maybe it was when I tripped over a curb, or slept the wrong way, or maybe I just held up the iPad with my left hand for too long, but somehow I managed to get a pinched nerve in my neck. It affected muscles in my back and my left shoulder and whole left arm. My entire upper left side has been in pain! But today I am glad to say I feel like I am on the mend. So far I have had three visits with my wonderful chiropractor and two visits with an acupuncturist. As for acupuncture, it is something I thought I would try if I ever had pain. So now I have tried it, and I don't like it.
One thing I learned is that when you are in severe pain, nothing else matters, and your mind can't go to its usual places. Today I had a thought that did not pertain to my predicament, and I realized I was getting better! I hope so, because I have a Thanksgiving dinner to prepare.
