I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to injure my right arm in such a way that it hurts to perform any movement involving the tricep and bicep muscles. Typing? Fine. Pointing to something without moving above the elbow? Also fine. Reaching out to pick up a coffee cup and have a sip? OH GOD, WHY DOES IT HURT SO BADLY?!?!?!

It started yesterday, about half an hour into the store being open. I had been fine, then suddenly (while working the espresso bar) I realized that my right upper arm was really starting to hurt. It was all downhill after that. Duante suggested that I not move it, Abey wanted me to have one of them try to massage out what he thought was a knot, Tanisha suggested I just "pop it back" to normal, and Judith tried to pressure the knot away only to cause more pain. Basically, everyone had different ideas, none of them worked. Well, holding it still worked pretty well, but since I was AT work, in a COFFEE SHOP, I couldn't realistically do that for long. So I mostly just gritted my teeth and groaned at any extended movement. Fun times!

It still hurts today- feels like a tendon is popping back and forth over muscles, which I'm not sure is possible. If it doesn't feel better by tomorrow morning I'm going to a doctor to get checked out. I'm ok, its not that I am UNABLE to move, just that it hurts to do so. :(

Anyhow, the rest of today's plans include homework. And that's it. Thankfully, doing homework does not involve a lot of upper arm movement. GO ME!

It does, thank you! Rest was clearly what was needed, and I've been making sure to rotate on and off the espresso bar at work.

And omg, love your icon!
