A messy last week vs. A stiffened week start

My last week ended well so far as I spend the whole week at work.

Although it gets a bit messy because of a misunderstanding that ends in a fight. This made me extend my rant over here thru my articles and I am so sorry for that.

In that case, I receive a lot of comfort from you awesome readers, your good wishes for me lighten my clouded mind.

I took every piece of advice to heart to ponder. I tried to understand and examined my actions and their results.

I came to realized that if I only extended more of my patience and understanding, the situation would not go wrong to that extent.

Anyways, another lesson learned for me.

Another week came in, a stiffened one literally. On Sunday I was still okay until Monday morning.

I woke up around 9:45 am as usual to prepare for our needs before off to work. Clean the cage, prepare food for my cats and fed them, cook rice, wash the utensils and prepare coffee for my partner. Iron his uniform and mine after I took a bath.

While I'm doing the cleaning and turning my head to the left to reach for the bleach I felt this sudden pain in my left nape part. I could not move my head because of the pain.

I thought it was just a simple muscle spasm that I get during my sleep and it can disappear after a hot compress.

I told my partner about it and he decided to skip the day's work to get rest. He too was feeling not well. I was done and prepared everything but dropped down to stay at home for the day.

I give my partner a wet towel too and put it in his nape. It seems his high blood pressure was attacking so I just let the towel sit in his nape to reduce the heat.

The good thing is he felt relieved quickly after the cold drives the hot feeling in his nape. Maybe the hot weather was not just friendly to him that morning.

And for me here is my homemade remedy to treat my stiff neck.

  • After I felt the pain I put a wet towel around the nape to my neck to reduce the heat, that day was so hot and the cold could help me to feel refreshed.

  • After a couple of hours doing the cold compress, I let my neck rest a while about an hour to adapt to the normal temperature.

  • Around 3 pm, before I took a nap I prepared the hot compress and put it on the pained area while lying to sleep.

    (Note: Do not do this if you have high blood pressure, the heat from a hot compress to the neck could trigger the blood to go up to the head and it could be dangerous.)

  • Tuesday came, as my neck was still in pain I let my friend massage the area to loosen the stiffened muscle. I felt relieved after the massage. She even cracked my back part at face down and my neck in a face-up position.

  • The pain lessens and I am able now to move my neck easily sideways unlike on Monday morning.

Note: This is just my personal experience and could not be effective to you as mine. This is not medical advice either. Better to consult a doctor for better treatment if you feel such unhealthy feelings.


My side story update:

I mentioned before about my friend where I sleepover last week that she was broken up by her partner.

Yesterday, I saw them reconciled already. Yey! For that.

Oh well, while I writing this the washing machine was spinning for I was doing the laundry too.

At noon was very hot here so I prefer to do the laundry during the night for the temperature was a bit cooler than the day.

Another thing to be thankful for, @foryoubtc09 thank you so much for renewing your support and love. More blessings to come to you. For all my sponsors, THANK YOU!

When I have neck pain I take a muscle relaxant and wear a neck brace. And before I fall asleep I remove the big pillow and put a small one, so that I don't lift my head too much in bed to avoid bending my neck... I hope you recover soon... here where I live we have also had high temperatures and we have had constant power cuts that leave us unable to use the fans and air conditioning. It's a real torture because of the heat.

I am good now dear thank you for the concern. As for the heat, summer hits our region at this time of the year so the weather was really hot already. Just drink plenty of liquid to avoid heatstroke and dehydration. Please keep safe always.

If I have a bad position on my sleep, the next morning is a stiff neck. It is so annoying. I just do streches to ease the pain.

Yeah, one way to ease is to stretch your neck mildly.

Try to keep the pillows in the Sun for few hours, sometimes the cushion get flattens and won't feel comfortable in sleep and cause muscle stiffness. Just try this doesn't cost anything,hehe. And take care!

I will follow your homemade remedy in dealing with your stiff neck. I also suffer that usually during overnight work and preparing forms to beat the deadline. I am happy and inspire to know that even though you suffer a lot you can still write something for today.

Ivet experienced a stiffened neck after a sleep. From what people adviced, it doesn't answer to drugs, it goes off by itself when it has stayed for a day or two. I think application of water on a towel works though

Cold and hot compress helps to reduce the pain, with slight massage and stretching too.

If the cause of the pain is just cramping or an uncomfortable sleeping position, then massage and compresses with a pain reliever are suitable. If the pain is persistent, it is best to consult a doctor. Hope you are better now
