*sigh* I guess this is just angsting, but the arm pains aren't going away, and a massage therapist without hands is no good. I probably shouldn't be typing, but I'm being careful about posture. And I need the outlet for my worry.

My neurology notes suggest entrapment of the axillary nerve. I abducted to various degrees to stretch teres and pec major; I checked in the mirror to try to see about the length of pec minor; and I have turned practically into a raisin between using soaking and heating pads. Arm pain still. Grr. I know I shouldn't expect instant results.

I also realize that most of the people reading this journal (with the exception of wenchamuffin) have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

S'okay. Then you get to suffer through librarian jargon.

Cold packs would probably be good, possibly try slinging your arm? That might help alleviate pressure. You should see a doc asap though if it's really bad (anywhere above a 6 on the 1-10 pain scale, I'd say, if the pain is persistent). Nice medical talk, too :)

Feel better, Kim. Let us all know how things are going, okay?
