Pinched Capsule

[MoneyAddyct]

Well guys, I've done it again--injured myself that is. I was doing shrugs a little too heavy yesterday and strained my neck and pinched a capsule. My father (who's a physical therapist) told me that although I had no problem shrugging the weight (and I didn't), when I went to place the weight down, my neck must've been bent slightly and, not realizing it, when I lifted my neck up, the pressure from the weight did not allow the tissue surrounding on of the joints to move quickly enough out from under it and it pinched. It fuvking hurts like hell! I can barely move. I went to the infirmary and the physician gave me a shot of Toradol which is a very potent NSAID. It helped somewhat but it's still VERY painful. This ever happen to anyone else? How long until it stopped hurting?

I had the same thing happen to me a month ago lifting hardwood boxes over my shoulder to carry them. Lasted a week for me. Yours may be worse or better so I cant really judge.
