New neck, same as the old neck (Nerve block day 1)

It’s the day after the cervical nerve block procedure. How am I doing?

I’m back at work, and currently I would say things are about the same as before. The same sort of radiating nagging ache, resulting in also some muscle tightness around the shoulder. The pain is very much localised like yesterday, which I guess in a way is better: I don’t feel like I need to rub my neck or play with my spine or anything like that.

I mentioned in my previous post that the pain during the procedure reminded me of when I first injured my neck, or rather waking up the next day. Thankfully, this has subsided very quickly so it isn’t completely like stepping back in time. There is none of the major weakness that happened back then, when I couldn’t even perform a single push-up (This was really weird, no pain, it’s just that the shoulder decided not to _do_ anything).

I’m not exercising. I feel like I’m getting fat(ter).

So I guess it is still too early to tell. Bring on the Neurofen Plus, baby…
