This is the second time I’m experiencing excruciating pain in my neck and shoulders. It’s a dull, throbbing pain near the right shoulder blades.
The cause this time has been identified. My bloody pillow. I know this for a fact as I changed my usual pillow last night. I prefer cotton stuffed pillow as it allows better support, moulding to my side-sleeping position. The lousy substitute was some synthethic pillow and boy did it suck. I’m tempted to burn the evil thing now. The pain is bearable this time as I’m well prepared.
I still had some leftover medicated Tiger Balm adhesive strips. This went on the right shoulder blades. I then smothered the neck and inner right blades with Ammeltz Yoko Yoko. The relief is minimal, but it’s better than walking around like Frankenstein.
I really wish I have someone, who knows how to massage the knots away in my shoulders. I remember the Indian barbers, who use to rub some alcohol after the cut and shave. They would then firmly hold your head with one hand and the chin with the other. Before you can say “ROFFLES”, he has swung your head left and right. A satisfying crack or two would be followed by a magical loseness in your neck and shoulder muscles.
A side note, I wonder what the toot happened to Stardust???!! The movie has been out since Aug 10, but I’ve yet to hear about it on our shores. Some people maybe wondering whats the big issue about Stardust. Well, it’s only written by one of the better authors, Neil Gaiman. I remember reading this book about 7 years ago along with his other superb works. For more information on the movie, head on to: http://www.stardustmovie.com. Neil even has a blog of his own, http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/. How cool is that?!
Anyone interested in joining me for this movie if it ever comes out in Malaysia? Otherwise, I’ll have to resort to my Lanun connections.
