First off, I am a pig headed bruit who hates going to the doctor.
About a month ago I got a nasty cold and headache. One night I took some Nyquil and Ibuprofen and passed out really good. I woke up the next morning to some nasty neck and shoulder pain on only my left side. Not a bit on the right side. It's been a freakin month and it has gone down a little bit I still have it. It moves around. Like sometimes its upper rear neck near the skill. Sometimes its rear shoulder blade area. Sometimes its mid shoulder. And sometimes its everywhere. Sometimes its sharp. And sometimes it's more of an ache than a pain.
If I take 4 x Ibuprofen it stops for 24 hours for the most part, enough that I can work out and do other stuff in my day. But then in it will come back and start killing me again if I don't take more IBP.
I've never had anything like this in my life. Anytime I get pains from something it lasts a week at most.
Anything I can do short of going to a doctor? Or am I just getting too damn old (42 almost 43) and this is a sign of my life to come?
