for anything I post in the next 24 hours.

I'm on day 4 of this horrible neck spasm. So I went to urgent care this morning, and I got some sweet pain meds and muscle relaxers. My head is swimming.

I don't really know the delivery options in my neighborhood yet, and I really want someone to bring my stoned ass some food.

[Heisenberg]

ooh, that doesn't sound pleasant at. all. I hope the pain meds and muscle relaxers do their job! And I hope someone brings your stoned ass some food soon, too!

[KaraOrNot]

That sucks. Feel better!

That sounds awful.

If you have any apple cider vinegar, you can try this: Boil some water and add 1/4 c. ACV and soak a washcloth in it and apply it when it's cool enough it won't burn you.  If you have epsom salts, you can try adding those or if you don't have ACV, try just the epsom salts.

I hope you feel better.

Sorry about your neck! I've just finished several weeks of therapy for repeated neck spasms. They gave me some exercises and stretches to do at home to try to prevent them b/c they're getting progressively worse.

Hope you feel better!

Doctor delivery will bring you just about anything (you pay a few dollars for it, but probably worth it!)

Ooh, thanks. Going to check that out. I texted my roommate, and he gave me a couple of names.

This Percocet is hitting me harder than the last one. I need to take another muscle relaxer in a bit, and whooooaaaa is that going to be some crazy times.

I always suspected you were a crackhead. JUST SAYIN'.



(Feel better in a pharmaceutical-free kind of way soon!)

Download the seamless, grubhub, or eat24 apps and order something.

I've got some Chinese food on the way.

This spasm is clearly REALLY bad because my mind is all foggy from the drugs, but I'm still in pain. Of course, the drugs make me just not care so much, so there's that.

Select physical therapy is excellent and they have places in both Arlington and Annandale. They should take your insurance. I also have an amazing masseuse in leesburg and I'm happy to pm you his info if you need. Feel better!!

Thanks, moon. I got a really good massage on Thursday in Mt. Vernon. Leesburg is WAY too far for me. I can't drive at all right now - I'm either in too much pain to turn my head, or I'm on medication that is incompatible with operating on a motor vehicle. I've been doing all the other stuff I'm supposed to - stretching, heating pad, warm soaks. This is just one seriously stubborn spasm!

Pete's does deliver to me, and I've actually ordered it tonight before. On the advice of my roomie, I ordered from Banana Leaves. It was pretty good. Not too greasy.

mx, will you respond with the best email to reach you at? I have some other questions for you.

ETA: Whoa. These drugs are crazy. And yet I still need more because the pain is that bad.

I used to work at their corporate office but for their inpatient division!

OP - sorry. Muscle spasms suck. So sorry. Hope you get relief soon. I agree with getting some PT and neck stretches. I got some from my chiropractor and they helped immensely.
