I know I'm getting old... trapped nerve in my right shoulder blade area for the past 3 weeks.

Not the first time, but still a pain in the backside.

@magicaltrout Find the book 'Treat your neck' and steal it. Makes you feel good. Seriously, if you are young enough, then do 'pigeons' where you push your chin in. If you are over the hill, then you need that horrible German surgery where they go through the front of your neck and tap in vampire stakes. Look it up and cringe! Doesn't work for long.

@hasmis the first time it happened a long time ago I went to an NHS physio who taught me the chin tuck and the sit on your hand and crank your neck over the other way moves. So I do do them, i found a few more the other day via this page: healthline.com/health/pinched-

Last time it happened I had acupuncture I don't know if it had any effect or I just naturally improved or a bit of both.

I need a backbrace or corset or something to stop me slouching!

@magicaltrout Ha, the worst is playing 'candy crunch' on the phone. The key to happiness is to have every disk in your back made of rubber. When they turn to stone, yipes!
