not this time

The past few days have been a bit difficult. I haven't been able to exercise as frequently because I have a horrible muscle spasm in my neck that is causing extreme pain in my shoulder down arm to my hand. The doctor gave me muscle relaxers but I hate the way they make me feel - dizzy and so weak. If any of you have any suggestions let me know! I'm wondering if I should see some kind of specialist but don't know who!

I'm trying not to let this get me down. In the past when I've had something interrupt my routine or plan I get frustrated. I feel like I've failed and just want to give up all together. But not this time! Still eating healthy and still motivated to move. I know keeping my arm still all the time isn't good either....so my plan this week is to maybe exercise every other day...or do shorter workouts.

  1. Mere-hang in there! Have you tried massage therapy? Is there a massage school around where you live, you could probably get a free or chaep massage that way. Ask around at church. It always helps my muscles when I receive a massage, sometimes it's just from my Michael.

  2. YOGA! Do some gentle yoga. They have some yoga podcasts on itunes specifically for different body parts. I hope it feels better today! I'll pray.
