Out of Action

Exactly two weeks ago I suffered a problem with my neck/shoulder. I described it as a trapped nerve which sent pain from my neck into my shoulder & down my arm. I’m not sure how I did it but it may have had something to do with sitting awkwardly for prolonged periods at a time.

Being a bloke, I didn’t do anything about it for a week hoping it would get better on its own. It didn’t. I’ve now been to the osteopath 3 times and forked out the best part of £100 and it’s no better than it was two weeks ago. Apparently, it’s called apophysitis & it may take some time to clear up. Yesterday I had some acupuncture-type treatment.

To top it all I started to develop a cold-type cough yesterday & every single bloody time I cough it sends a shock of pain down out the side of my neck, down my shoulder & into my arm. Thanks a bunch!

What’s this got to do with photography. Well I’ve not been able to pick the camera up, much less take any photos with it which is so annoying since I actually have time right now & for the next few weeks to do as much photography as I want.

Talk about Sod’s Law!

  1. Will Said,

    I used to get some sort of muscular pain in my neck/shoulder region after spending days of extended periods at the computer. The only thing that helped was time away from the computer! Photography helped in that regard, but taking photographs isn’t going to help you much right now! However, you could get out and about finding new photo locations.

    Having a cold’s a bummer especially at this time of year. Almost everyone I know has or is suffering with something this Christmas. It’s not good.
