I went to urgent care this morning & surprisingly it wasn't for one of the kids. It was for me. I tweaked something in my neck & have not been able to move/sleep for the past 2 days. I tried getting in to my doctor but he couldn't see me until June. Ugh! So, urgent care it was. {p.s. driving when you can't turn your head is super fun}
You know I'm desperate for relief when I decide to go back there after their less than stellar track record. I got there right after it opened & was the only patient in there, yet I sat there for.ever. Doctor came in & checked my motor skills {why?}, asked if my neck hurt {duh!} and left. And I sat for.ever. I'm pretty sure that I had to wait so long because he was in his office googling "neck pain". He came back with some muscle relaxer samples, an RX for ibuprophen and the name of a physical therapist and sent me on my way. Another $20 copay well spent.

Oh Natalie, I am so sorry about your neck! Let me know if you need help with the kids. I can totally come pick them up too, I wouldn't want you running over any neighbor children trying to drive, (especially not next the next door neighbor kids!)
Hey Natalie,
When Leah and I were going to the Chiropractor after our car accident(s), a similar thing happened to my neck. They said to ice it on and off in 15 minute increments. The icing helped a lot, and then I went in for my next adjustment and voila I could turn my neck again. So anyway, you might want to try icing your neck.
I hope your neck feels better! I am so sick of my ER drs and their less than helpful remedies lately. there's nothing worse than going to urgent care and feeling like it was a waste of time.
I hope your neck gets better soon!
Happy blogoversary!
