Hopefully short hiatus on art

4 years ago General

Yesterday I strangely hurt my left shoulder and it's still really strong today. Very painful. I'm going to give the week to heal and see how it's doing by Saturday. My parents didn't think I needed to go to the doctor yet, so we'll see.

What happened: I dropped my car keys between the passenger seat and the middle console. I was trying to fish them out with my right hand, when suddenly I felt this sudden pain in my left shoulder. I have no idea what happened, but now it's in severe pain if I move it in certain ways. It's not dislocated cuz I can still move the actual shoulder fine (it's my arm if I move in different ways I get shooting pain) and it physically doesn't look weird. No discoloration or anything like that either. Just PAAAIN.
I'm hoping it's some sort of torn muscle so it will simply heal on its own. Just hope it won't take too long... v_v

I do have each commission on my list at least started, however.

Sounds like a pulled muscle to me and hopefully that's all it is. I've had the same experience many times, they really suck. I remember when I was in highschool I had a tendency to pop my neck a lot, and during the TACC's test I was popping neck and I did even feel the pain until I turned my head to the right only to find I physically was unable to without excruciating pain. I could look left just fine bit I had to turn my entire body right in order to see anything to the right of me. Never popped my neck again after that, still pop everything else though lol

As long as you keep it still it should heal relatively fast depending on severity, that's of course assuming it is a pulled muscle. Take care and keep your shoulder still! ^^

augh I've had similar things but from sleeping on my neck wrong, so can't turn my neck one way.

sadly it's very hard to keep my arm still. now even resting hurts. if still feels this strongly by Saturday I'll for sure need to see a doctor. xc

Well hopefully it gets better soon.

Also I want to correct my self. I mentioned that it was probably a pulled muscle, but I think it would be more accurate to say it is more than likely a pinched nerve seeing as you got it trying to fish out car keys from between the seat, plus a sudden extreme pain from doing a simple, not so strenuous task is typical of a pinched nerve rather than a pulled muscle. Both of them suck. That being said if it doesn't get better then by all means consult a doctor.
