I crawled into bed around 11:30 last night, exhausted and ready to pass out. I flopped onto my back, then rolled over to make sure my alarm was set. As I flipped onto my back again, my neck let out a scream of protest.
Yes, I managed to injure myself rolling over in bed.
I woke up about once per hour last night, and tried to reposition myself in a way that would help my poor neck. No luck. Today, my neck is so stiff and sore that I can’t turn or tip my head to the left at all. I’m sitting at work now, trying to stretch my neck out without crying, while wondering if I should be doing something else. An ice pack? Heat pad? I have no idea – I’m actually pretty tough and don’t usually have these kinds of problems.
So clearly, the best thing to do is go online and buy new pillows that I’ve been craving forever.  I can’t wait until they arrive.

OK Anna, everynow and then I jump on here to see what you’re up to, and to see this today cracked me up…well not really, I totally feel for you and here’s why: about a year or so ago I did the same thing…pulled a muscle in my neck rolling over in bed. I eventually went to the Dr to get some muscle relaxers b/c it burned so badly, and I was out of work for about 3 days b/c I couldn’t turn my head…def heat and ice, and some muscle relaxers definately help…Good luck!
