Ow. Owow. Owowowowow. Ow.
Aug. 25th, 2009 09:20 amDid a bit too much driving yesterday (about...*counts* 200 miles or so) and have managed to completely lock up the left side of my torso. My ribs (the ones that got so expertly squished by Sammie two years ago) are a huge mass of Ouch; the intercostal muscles are doing their thing, which at the moment consists largely of going We're in paaaaaaaaain every time I move or breathe; my left shoulder has locked up and is making crunchy noises* and various other bits up and down the left side go clunk at random intervals. So moving is painful at the moment. I might want to have a word with a GP to have my floating ribs checked out at some point.
But hey, my hip and back have not hurt at all! ***
*Imagine the noise when you twist a cooked chicken leg apart with your hands. Amplify the sound up to...say, a child-sized chicken. Muffle it in a blanket or two. There you have the noise my shoulder makes when I move it.**
**Why yes, I am vaguely creeped out by this noise. Why do you ask?
***This is Karen speak for 'hasn't brought me to my knees recently'. So just the familiar, constant background hum which is so much better than the searing fucking-hell-kill-me-now episodes.
