I’ll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.
Woke up realizing I must’ve slept wrong, had a crick in my neck.
About an hour of messing with it and tried to crack the crick,
Life’s been different since then. Can’t move my head a certain way, if so my arm will go numb in seconds.
I had this too, but mine went further. Eventually became burning, terrible pain down my arm – worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I spent six weeks on steroids, oxycodone, and gabapentin until I could finally get steroid injections directly into my spine.
Be careful, and get checked out for cervical spinal stenosis. You might be able to do some proactive stuff at this point.
Now my neck always hurts, I can’t feel my fingertips (especially on the right hand), and my right forearm sometimes feels like it’s on fire.
