A sudden increase in empathy

This morning I am recovering from bad neck and upper back pain, with burning red hot poker in my shoulder blade and down the back of my left arm after lifting the boat onto the tow bar at the weekend. I couldn’t extend my neck or turn to the left without significant increase in pain. My skin felt hypersensitive like bad sunburn and I could only sleep on my side. I had to call off my afternoon clinic as I was worse than all the patients! Noting like a dose of pain to increase your empathy towards our fellow patients. Tramadol and amitriptyline last night and feel a little better. Feeling a bit better this morning, but I’ll be at physiotherapy on Monday! #neckpain #physiotherapy #physioforneckpain
