i'm glad you mentioned the bicep pain. i always forget to mention it becasue it isn't sinking into me that this is from my neck and not a pulled bicep. my left shoulder is the worse. sore to even touch. if i try to lift my arm the pain is in my armpit, shoulder, bicep even sometimes goes down the front of my shoulder. i take flexeril and ultracet when the pain is really bad. since i'm not much of a pill popper i don't take them all the time. my rheumatologist gave me some sort of shots in the trapezios(?spelling) muscles on monday and the relief i have felt in my neck and shoulder blades is unreal. i have fibro so i am sure the muscles were tight as a drum. see my pcp tomorrow and am oing to ask him if he has the notes yet from rheumi. i am curious what he did and why becasue it's the most relief i have had in 2 years.:blob_fire
