tests are back. damaged right trapesius muscle or severe strain.

no wonder I'm still in pain. he said it could take months to heal.

oh great...

and I've got a major bladder infection....

are we more susceptible to injury and other infections because of lyme?

forgot...he gave me tramadol for pain and sulfamethoxazole for bladder.

said to jus not lift and alternate heat and cold.

When you ask if we're more susceptible, I'd say yes because of the magnesium issue - our muscles are tighter because they don't have enough of it.

I'm always doing gentle stretching to get more oxygen in, waste products, and have even rehabbed tight muscles that way to get them more stretched out in general.

I've tried Natural Calm and magnesium glycinate so far. The Natural Calm powder caused my muscles to go limp!!

You will need to wait till you get through this period of strain before you can do any stretching, I think.

Tai chi would be great.. It's not as easy as it looks though.

Magnesium would help you all the way around, randi. I can't do without my ReMag. It is incredible.
