As mentioned in my Sickbay thread, I've been having some serious joint issues lately. Chances are, I pissed something off while either doing massive amounts of driving, massive amounts of skiing, or massive amounts of hoisting wine cases and typing. Either way, shoulders and knees finally said "that's IT, we're DONE."
Of all the joints to throw a tantrum, it had to be those. Of course.
Doc did a bunch of tests, ruled out a bunch of things, and referred me to physical therapy. Which I declared to be the Greatest Invention Ever on Facebook.
However, I'm starting to think it's actually the tape I'm loving. See, the very nice and very lovely PT lady ended our session by taping up my shoulders to help with the stability.
OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS, I HAVE NO PAIN.
There's still stiffness, and they don't work quite right, but THERE IS NO PAIN. I haven't been pain-free in my shoulders for nearly two weeks.
I WANT TO MARRY THIS STUFF.
I know, in about a week, I'm going to be cursing PT, the devil who spawned it, and my therapist for making me cry. But it's worth it, because if I can become totally pain free for the first time in years, I won't know what to do with myself.
