pulled muscle? ...

[j@zzii]

i think i may have a pulled muscle in my lower right arm :confused:

there's no swelling or bruising but there's pain each time i move my arm (even typing and moving the mouse is causing a bit of pain).

i just dont know how i did it. the only thing i can think of is that i was cleaning out the garage this afternoon and i lifted and pulled a few heavy items.

will sleep on it 2nite and see how it pulls up (no pun intended :p) 2moro morning.

Oh no Maria. Hope that it is nothing major and a good nights rest will having it feeling better for you.

how you feeling this morning Jazz...

[j@zzii]

thanx girls :)

just back from the doctor - it's tendonitis. which isnt too bad. it's just a nuisance!

will wear a wrist brace, take anti-inflammatory tablets and have to minimise the use of my right hand. i'll take it ez for a couple of hrs and then see if i can do something later on.

Good luck I hope it clears up for you soon. I have tennis elbow in my left which feels like a chinese burn type thingy..........nuisance more than anything.

Luv Sandie

Did the doctor suggest rubbing in some voltarin gel of popping a heat pac on it. We get lots of injured muscle in this household and the good old heat pack gets a good work out. Just one of those wheat bags that you pop in the microwave

[angie]

oh poor you Maria, not pleasant at all and yep I'm with Lynne voltarn gel is magic in a tube!!

Ange

[j@zzii]

thanx for the idea girls. the doctor suggest voltaren tablets - not the gel.

[Lynne]

you can do both if you want. Last time when Cait bruised her ribs, Dr Don put her on anti inflamitaries and suggested the voltarin gel

[digi_gal]

Oh no Maria. Just what you didn't need. Hope that your arm is feeling rested now and not causing you too much pain and discomfort.

[j@zzii]

thanx shaz!

unfortunately my timing sux! i'm having a whole lot of guests coming over sat_nite! this week was supposed to be all about getting the house clean, setting up tables & chairs and preparing food.

i'm going to start things now - i'm gonna go do the vacuuming & dusting left-handed :rolleyes:

[digi_gal]

Oh no Maria. What lousing timing eh. So how long is your arm likely to bother you for? Is rest really the only thing you can do for it?

[phatassphairy]

oh no maria that is a pain in the bum ...nd i would come you a hand ..(((he he he)) if i lived closer hun ...so take it easy and don't over do it ...

[Lali]

Hope you are feeling better Maria

[j@zzii]

shaz - the doctor said to go back and see him if it's still bothering me after 2 weeks :eek:

sammi - so what time can u get here?:p

lali - thanx :)

[angie]

How are you managing with the preps for that special event this weekend??;):p;)

Ange

[digi_gal]

How is your arm? Are you managing to rest it or are you too busy trying to organise everything ready for this weekend?

[j@zzii]

girls, (thanks for asking) my arm has hindered me a lot more than i thought it would. every now and then when i go to do something i feel a twinge and its like when u pluck a guitar string (if that makes sense?) unfortunately i cant rest it. so much to do!

i spent today cleaning the house (day off work :)). now i'm in the process of getting an album together for the guests to sign in. later on tonite i will go over to my parents to start preparing some food.

my brother is compiling a dvd slide show of my life - it couldnt b a surprise for me because i had all the photos!! :D:p

2moro i will go shopping for the essentials.

[digi_gal]

Sounds like it is all go for you Maria. If I don't get to message before hand all the best for the weekend. A DVD show of your life will be really cool. You will have to burn it to disc and then make a scrapbook layout about it.

[angie]

Ha I know the answer to that question, but my lips are sealed:p;)

Ange

[Lali]
