Today I felt pretty rotten for a good part of the day. I don’t usually. But today my left shoulder blade – the trapezius I would suspect – had a knot in it all day. Made my whole left arm feel weak at times. Good thing I am not left handed I guess.
Anyway, I had a meeting tonight at church which I would have loved to get out of since I was feeling fairly wiped out by the time I got home. Hard to get out of a meeting when you are the chair though.
So I loaded up my body with ibuprofen, made supper and by meeting time, was doing just fine.
There are some medications that are Godsends. And then there is sleep – something which I should go and get right now.

Ahh sleep…gotta love it.
Take a tennis ball and rub it on the knot, using as much pressure as you can take…..it works!
If the knot is in the back….put the tennis ball between you and a wall (preferred would be somewhere without witnesses) and move about – I watched a nurse demonstrate this unique “task”….it works!
Hope you are feeling better, today.
Ibuprofen – wonderful stuff.
Sooths joints and trapped nerves very nicely. I often take it after a ride to stop the joints getting inflamed and the nerves from complaining. Unfortunately my poor wife appears to now be allergic to it, getting intense itching if she takes it.
