Frozen shoulder - flippin heck it hurts....

[psychocandy]

Must be getting old. Falling to pieces...

Flippin hurts like buggery. NHS useless - have a few painkillers. Private cortisone injection next on cards I think....

Anyone else ever have? Apparently its more common when you're over 40 {sigh}

Is this your play for Motability?

Probably stress. Get a massage asap. A wonder drug is not going to fix.

Ha ha - never thought of that!

Stress? Didn't know it was stress related?

Not sure if a massage is going to sort out. Having done some research it appears to be the sort of thing that lasts a good while unless you have some sort of medical intervention. Its not great mind like I said.

Masturbation - chronic neck and shoulder pain

[TheFaQQer]

My neighbour had it and described it as pain unimaginable. Couldn't sleep, couldn't move - just on massive doses of painkillers while he waited for a plan on how to try to cure it.

Two or three painful surgeries eventually fixed it.

Fingers crossed that yours doesn't get that bad

Is this some kind of online sick note PC?

[NotAllThere]

Had it when I was 33. Turned out to be two slipped disks in my neck. Was on tramadol, max dose ibuprofen (3x800mg a day), valium and fragmin (to prevent clots due to being fairly immobile). After a double diskectomy and spinal fusion (four hours of major surgery), the pain all went away, which was nice - didn't need the pain killers at all. Unfortunately, I'm left with a partially paralysed triceps and numbness in my left hand due the nerve damage (From the slipped disks, not the surgery). I was off work (permie at the time) for 5 months.

Had a really cool scar across my throat, but it's faded now - the surgeon's stitching was just too good.

If you have any numbness or muscle weakness, see a doc asap. The neurologist who first saw me figured out the issue just using pins to map the numbness. Then it was confirmed by an MRI - a CAT scan showed nothing.

Yes yes, a very common disease. Its called the public sector syndrome.
