ahhhh .. my shoulder just clicked. this is a good thing. the deltoid muscles in each shoulder/arm have given me trouble for a long time (it must be something i was born with, because they seem to take turns hurting in some kind of order which only they know. excercise, or lack of it, doesn't seem to make a difference one way or the other), but they've mostly been under control since i've been seeing a good chiropractor regularly. some strange pregnancy hormone seems to have made them flare up again in a big way. they spasm while i'm sleeping & hurt like buggery, so much so that the pain wakes me up.
usually if they hurt like this for any decent length of time it begins to affect my shoulders too. one night i may then roll over onto my arm, the shoulder will give a crack or a click & the pain is gone. there's been no clicking & cracking while the nasty pregnancy hormones have been doing their dastardly deeds though, no matter how much rolling around i engage in.
except for now. i finally remembered to get some deep heat type stuff (metsal, actually) to rub on my arm. i chose the arm which happens to be hurting the most. only about half an hour has passed since i rubbed the stuff on & it's relaxed the muscle enough for my shoulder to click all on its own. it feels a lot better already.
i think i might bathe in the stuff tonight before i go to bed. no, no .. i'm joking. i'm not really going to do that. i will be putting a bit onto each arm though, so i might actually be able to get a decent sleep. big day tomorrow & sunday (we're moving house on sunday, remember) so a couple of good sleeps will come in handy.
