Recuperating
Had a sudden attack of stiff neck this morning while getting ready for work. Thought it was just a minor strain, so proceeded to office as usual. Then, i found myself unable to tilt my head to the left and upwards. Felt a bit worried.
It got worse 1 hr into my workday. I found that I can't move my neck to the right now. Went to the toilet to check myself in the mirror. Saw that my head was tilting to the right and it was painful just to straighten it. When my collegues came to my desk, I couldn't turn to face them when they talked to me as the pain was sharp.
Oh boy, am i in trouble or wat. Approached my supervisor requesting for time off to see the doctor. Met my family doctor at Circuit Road (yup, the notorious area which is popular nowadays).
He conlude that i have a ligament injury maybe due to my pillow. I doubt that cos the pain happen while i'm getting ready for work and not immediately after i woke up. The pain just came suddenly.
Anyways, also enquired him about my back injury that I suffered a couple of months back. I had visited the polyclinic then and it was not really working. My doc asked me wat i went thru previously. I told him that the poly doc just asked me to bend down and he touched my spine and that was that. He just diagnosed that i have a ligament injury. My doc just shook his head. I asked him and he told me the doc was not not checking me enough.
My doc then proceeded to give me a physical examination by checking my reflexes, etc. He was looking for any signs that I may have a slipped disc. Which I don't have, thank goodness. He gave me jab (on my butt!!) for my backache and my neck strain. On top of that I now have 4 types of relaxant to aid in the recovery.
Now I'm on 2 days MC. Hopefully everything will be well by this wkend.
