Slow to heal...

According to what the chiropractor told me today, shoulder injuries are slower healing than something like misalignment of the spine. I have to go back in Monday for another adjustment. I do have a bit more range of motion, and a bit less pain, than I did, so I guess that's something.

He gave me a large elastic band to do some shoulder exercises with. I'm to use as much range of motion as I can without pain. 10 reps of 4 different exercises, twice a day. Oh the joy of it all.

I don't know if I'll try getting on the treadmill today or not. I usually swing my arms while I walk. Yesterday the idea of swinging my arm was not appealing. I didn't even try. Today I might give it a go and see how I do. I'm trying to keep loose, since I know my muscles will just tighten up and hurt if I don't. Last night I was so tense from the pain that I ended up with a headache. I don't care to repeat that.
