I'm glad your neck is feeling better. Sprains "can" indeed take quite a while to heal.<br><br>When I lived near Chicago (early 90s) , I had one of those beds with the tubes of water and I was lifting a tube when my hand slipped and I jerked my shoulder and neck and landed oddly onto the bed. I ended up slipping a disk and pinching a nerve in my neck and having to wear a soft collar for quite a while. Back then I delivered pizzas while going to college and the collar actually helped the tips, lol.<br><br>I hope you get well soon.

I hit my head on the wall on the way down but that is it. I was a little shaken at first since I have never fallen in the shower before. today i am a little stiff in the shoulders and my jaw hurts (left side) but i think I will be alright. Hoping you feel better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
