not so bad
9 years ago
well, I went to see the doctor yesterday, he seemed kinda confused because I didn't feel any pain when I moved my arm around and it didn't hurt when he put some pressure on my shoulder, so he asked for some x-rays and stuff
good thing it could be done right there on the clinic, and the guy that took the x-rays was such a sweetheart it was almost like he knew I had got no sleep and was in pain and kinda needed some nice words from someone.
I went back to the doctor, who was a also a huge sweetheart, and he said it was, indeed, muscular and it's an inflammation. He asked me if I spent too much time sitting down on a daily basis, and I told him well yeah, I work at home and spend long periods of time just sitting in front of the computer, drawing. So he told me that was most likely the reason why I got hurt in the first place, it's a "posture problem", and that I needed to exercize more often to avoid things like this from happening again.
He then gave me some medicine and told me to come back in case the medicine doesn't work, but so far it seems to be helping me so I'm happy.
I didn't update yesterday because I was very very tired, so I took my medicine and tried to just relax in bed until I fell asleep. I woke up about an hour ago to take my medicine again and decided to make a new journal now.
I'm really glad that it was, indeed, a very simple problem, even though it was so bizarre. And I'm glad the medicine is working, too! Hopefully I'll be all good and back to normal in a few days~

Hope you feel well soon and get plenty of rest!
I've not had such pain before, so I might sound silly, but have natural methods such as applying ice or heat helped at all?
You don't sound silly at all~ But yeah, I did try that, and it worked but just a little and it didn't last long. I don't know, this is the weirdest pain I've ever had, that's why I was freaking out ;^; I'm really afraid of surgeries and if for some reason I'd have to go through one because of my shoulder, gosh I don't think any amount of alprazolam could help me ughhhh
But thank you for the advice! ;w; I'll begin doing that, even if I have to set up alarms to remind me to do some stretches
but walking for 1h or so everyday is a really good idea, and I should totally begin doing that again!
