[QUOTE="klmno, post: 331021, member: 3699"] I'm up from my rest- no reading done, I couldn't hold my eyes open but never went to sleep. I just kept my arm relaxed and rested and feel a little better. MM- what you are describing is EXACTLY what I am experiencing. I had a strained/pulled muscle in my neck once and honestly, it reminds me more of that than anything. Although I can't quite figure out how on earth I could have pulled a muscle in the upper arm, I guess it's possible. I did see a dr about the pulled muscle in my neck and he rx'd me a strong muscle relaxer- I think he said it was precription strength motrin. He told me the mistake most people mmake when they have a pulled muscle is to give into the tendency to keep it in the position that it seems to be pulling you. He said the best thing to do is to lie in the straightest, most relaxed position for as many hours a day as possible so it could heal itself. I told me to keep either hot or cold off it- although I don't remember which one. LOL! One of them makes the muscle want to contract, which he said was bad for healing it. I would normally assume that would be cold, but in a way I think he might have said heat. I'm just not sure. I know I need the tooth taken care of. If I end up going on medicaid, does it take care of dental? Evaen though I need a specialist, both my old medication insurance and dental insurance told me this was not covered by either as a medication procedure- they said it was like a dental procedure. Marg, what you are saying makes sense, too. And I still think stress is not helping any. Of course, it excaberates any physical ailment it seems. [/QUOTE]
