Owie.

So, I apparently managed to seriously injure my shoulder sometime Thursday, but I couldn't remember what I had done to make it happen, since it didn't really start getting stiff and sore until later that evening.

I originally thought maybe it was a shopping-related injury (holding an armful of stuff while I waited in a very long checkout line) or that maybe I'd just done something to it with too much mousing from the nonstop work thing this week. Just muscle strain or something.

But now that it hasn't gotten any better, I think those things just aggravated it, and what I really did? Was screwed up a ligament or tendon or something Thursday morning while trying to put my bra on. I have a vague recollection of the hook side of the strap slipping out of my hand, and twisting to keep a grip on it and keep it from snapping out and thwacking me. Ugh. Of all the ridiculous ways to injure oneself.

And the real bitch of it is that I can't take anything for the pain, since I'm trying to kick my Advil habit in case that's what's causing my (I assume) kidney problem. Heat and rest aren't really helping (which would make sense with a tendon injury instead of just a pulled muscle) So I'm stuck trying to not move my right shoulder at all in hopes that the inflammation or whatever will eventually go away. Which... Isn't exactly easy. M had to actually help me get dressed this morning (though no bra--I figure anyone who sees me on the weekends can cope with my uncorralled boobs.)

It's sort of gotten worse over the last 24 hours, and if it doesn't start healing, I may go get it poked at. Maybe see if they'll give me a steroid shot or something. Grrr. I have plans for this weekend, dammit!
