How hard is it to Strain your Neck?

Crim · 04-28-2006, 12:42 AM

I'm trying to get some football text simming done this weekend to enjoy the beautiful crop of incoming freshmen I've recruited and figure I should get the monthly "neck-straining" out of the way so my wife won't be badgering me to get anything done around the house. I've never actually done this myself however, usually I just fake it and that's all but now I'm not faking, I really did twist wrong or something, and all I was doing was taking the trashcan out to the road.

The trash can is about 4' by 2.5' (diameter), and heavy as hell, and I was dragging it solo.

Should I just wait a few weekends and hope it doesn't get better, and even if it does, pretend that it ain't, or will she get suspicious if I don't go to a doctor in a day or so?

You would of been better off pulling your groin. The olny thing you can do with a pulled groin is rest. And, 3 weeks is about right. Nothing a doctor can do except tell you you need to take it easy for a couple of weeks.

RICE

Rest.
Ice.
Compression.
Elevation.

And, a chronic groin could flare up 3 or 4 times a year.

Pulled stomach muscle is good. totally immobilizes you from any kind of hard work/physical exertion (also means she'll have to be on top). I actually had the pull many years ago, and kept reinjuring it over and over again -- damn, you have to use your stomach muscles to do just about anything. So, simply stand up from the couch and wince -- that ought to to do it.

get into a car accident and youll feel sorry just about all the time. The downside is eventually that becomes your baseline. Right now, my neck and back are a little sore, and I consider that to be normal. good stuff.

I thought you were looking to strain your neck. I was gonna offer you to be my sparring partner for a few rounds.

Not hard at all, epecially if you weakend it sleeping on it in an awkward position. I did this last weekend, and my neck/shoulder have been sore all week.
