I woke up with a pinched nerve, only able to carry my head crookedly to my left shoulder.
I went to work anyway, but the pain got worse.
So my boss have me the name of a chiropractor, and was able to get an appointment in half an hour.
$165 for the chiropractor (does not take insurance)
$28.48 for a reusable heat pad with straps and a bottle of advil.
Chiropractor made me able to at least turn my head, but my muscles are spasmed and still hurt a lot.
I remember that I have some vicodent at home - I filled a prescription after my root canal but never used it.
I think this is the time of need - it hurts more than after the root canal.
I am too young to have these kinds of problems!
But at least I can afford to deal with it. I am glad that our budget is not so tight that we wouldn't be able to pay some bill if this happened. Or that my job will not even count few hours of to see the doctor and I can do it any time I need. Trying to look at the positive side (since I can't look at the left side).
Slept badly -- lots of pain and $193 of unexpected expence today
