Pah!

Doggone! I injured my shoulder blade whilst playing basketball yesterday. I have to stand / sit rigid and upright in manner of military person to reduce the pain. And that sucks, as am always lazing this way or another.

I guess it's not a really good idea to basketball for three days in a row. Mum blames it on the Baskin Robbins ice-cream i ate (Pralines and Cream is pretty good. Pecans rock), saying that it made my body "too cold" and thus more susceptible to injuries. She said this once while she was eating up the remainder of my half-gallon, and again later as she was plucking my veins/tendons/ligaments in a sadistic Thai-masseuse way.

I've already downed a variety of muscle relaxants including Panadol Muscle & Joints, but when i read the info sheet i found out that it contains only paracetamol like any other Panadol, just that the capsules look different. Such packaging scam, if you ask me...

*update
Been to the Dr Lim's earlier just now, and damn it was packed. People falling sick left right centre due to CNY bingeing, i presume. Managed to queue-barge in a way (mum knows him)and i visited Lim who was already off-duty at that time.

Thank goodness there wasn't anything wrong with my spine (the segments in my neck... cervical vertebrae if am not mistaken), as it hurt when i tilted my head upwards. Was just some nerve injury. Or was it muscle? Am sure he said trapezius, which is a muscle, but it extends up to the neck near the spine, so that should explain the pain.

Simple diagram. Much easier to understand this way.

Anyway am given more pills, and a minty ointment-cream to apply on affected areas. XD
