# My neck - [[trap muscles]] - ![[neck muscles.png]] [[farmers walks]] and [[weighted walking|weighted walks]] with a vest seem to tighten up my [[trap muscles]] Not sure, but I think [[bicep]] curls seem to do the same but much less. ## #Physio - the push against my hand from left, right, front, back - the head to back of wall ## Last time this was an issue? I can't remember. It certainly has happened before but not in the last couple of years. # Injury from 2023-02-07 Was 95% better within a week https://www.zygotebody.com/#nav=3.12,143.53,36.95,0,0,0,0&sel=p:;h:;s:114;c:-0.6;o:-0.75&layers=0,1,9275 Parts that hurt... - sternocleidomastoid - trap on the left sid - a little nauseous (had a hard time doing simple thing in kitchen) - a bit of a headache Can't - can't tilt my ear to my shoulder on my left side at all (I can do it a fair amount on the right) - limited left turn of head, a little less limited right turn - Getting up from bed on ?left side Can do - I hiked and it felt good to get blood flowing - type ## What caused it? It started first thing in 2023-02-07, I didn't notice anything yesterday to suggest this would happen. No particularly horrible habits yesterday. Strongest guess is sleeping on side without a pillow. (I've been sleeping without a pillow to address my [[shoulders]] in the last week) Also, I've been doing neck physio, laying on shoulder I do neck crunches on each side and then laying flat on back I do them lifting up. I might have done too many. ## Guess at how long it will be an issue? - 2023-02-07 - I would guess this won't stay with me long, but even if it does I can still enjoy stuff ## Healing log 2023-02-07 - what can I and can't I do? - leaning against wall for ankle physio hurts - couldn't fall back asleep due to pain (but it was 6am) - Massage at 1pm, no immediate relief 2023-02-08 - It was much better ## What is the good in this? - How am I to know? This might be saving me from going out and getting hit by a car. - It could be teaching me how to deal with this so that i can help someone else - opportunity to focus on other things - opportunity to meditate on the pain ## Remember - [[to suffer early is to suffer needlessly]] - [[enjoy the process]] - [[it is a matter of focus|matter of focus]]
