Responsibility

It NEVER ceases to amaze me that people do not take responsibility for their pain. You are a smart person, educated and have been active most of your life. Along the way you have learned a lot of things. But, as soon as PAIN sets in all of that intelligence is gone. i can not tell you how many times I have educated patients and clients on managing their symptoms. if your shoulder is sore ice and stretch it, maybe use an anti-inflammatory, get a massage. Pain will change how you think, and the second you experience pain the psyche changes and you do all the incorrect stuff. Heat generally makes it worse, no one remembers to stretch or self massage. But we all immediately run to the doctor or just sit there miserable.
Take responsibility for your pain, be proactive. ICE before you heat, stretch, use a tennis ball to self massage or go see a massage therapist.......be responsible.
