Inflamed

My neck has been bugging me for a few days. It was better yesterday after a night on my pillow and taking it easy, but got slightly worse through the day with too much activity. I’d like to try and get some things done today, but I’m worried about overdoing it.

Last night when we went to eat dinner, it hurt to swallow large bites. I think the pressure of my esophagus was pushing on muscles in my neck, which pushed on sore nerves and made them angrier. That sucks, and I look forward to getting older less and less with things like this. We also went to see The Last Airbender and it was tough. We were down in front and I had to try and support my neck with hands to look up and not feel pain. So I had either tense shoulders that ached, or neck pain.

Better this morning, but I think I’ll take it easy today, a light jog and not much else so it’s better for tomorrow.
