So I went bowling on Thursday. This may or may not have been the source or the final straw in the issue, but it probably had some effect.

I used to bowl a lot, and in a league or two as well. But the last time I bowled was about 3 years ago.

So I went with a friend, we threw 3 games, and the next day, I had some various pains.

Amount these were a pain in the muscle at the right rear of my neck, and another by my right shoulder blade. Oh well, just some muscle soreness, right?

Well, as time went on it got better... sort of. The pain just seems to be moving. First over to my shoulder, now down my right arm.

The current location of the pain is about even with my armpit, on the outside of my arm.

However, my shoulder is rather... stiff might be a good word.

And if I move my arm around, my shoulder tends to pop or click. It feels like I need to crack it like I would crack a knuckle.

And sometimes it makes a similar sound, too. But I can really feel the joint moving around.

It's like it's rolling over in the socket at times. It's uncomfortable, but not painful

For example, if I put my arm straight down with my palm facing forward and then rotate my arm until my palm faces backward, it makes said noise

The reason I'm worried is that something like this happened a few years ago with my LEFT arm

My back felt tight, I tried to hang from something to stretch it, and then the pain started to slowly move in day by day

It got bad enough that I actually started taking pills my mom had been prescribed for post-surgery pain (either percoset or vicodin, I forget)

Those still weren't helping, and I had trouble sleeping because of the pain.

I currently have 10 days before I have to work a BIG convention. And I'm scheduled for a LOT of things that weekend.

I think I need to visit the doctor tomorrow. Or later today. Or something like that. I just need to find out when he's in. Because we have a working agreement on things.

If this is something that rest, heat, etc can fix, then fine.

But the last thing I'm going ot need is being unable to sleep for a MAJOR weekend event, while I'm heading up one of the most important departments of the convention.

Also, i have a problem with trying to sleep while in pain... unless I'm EXHAUSTED, I can't sleep

): def get it checked out, sounds like. And I hope you feel better soon
