Relative ages...

[senoritafish]

I'm approaching forty and I think the body is beginning to fall apart. My right wrist has been aching for the past couple of weeks, the top of my left shoulder hurts when I raise my arm or reach backwards, a knot between my shoulder blades will not go away completely, and this morning my right knee aches for some unexplained reason. I don't mind the gray racing stripes in my hair so much, but how the hell did I get to be nearly middle-aged? Better go get some Depends, I guess.

However, the other day I was telling John about the latest LJ trend of doing a Google search on your name. He looked at me and said, "You know, mentally, you're about 16, aren't you." Yeah, and you're how old? Nine?

...and said, "You know, mentally, you're about 16, aren't you."

Perhaps you two are cut from the same cloth then?

AHEM

get thee to a massage therapist or a chiropractor.
i co worker of mine had the same problem you described with the shoulder and it turned out to be a bad rotator cuff. turned out she needed surgery.

you might try the RICE method.
hmmmmm lets see...
Rest
Ice -to cut inflammation
Circulation -or something like that- i think they mean to use heat alternated with ice to stimulate blood circulation
Elevate -not sure how you could do that with a shoulder but you get what i am getting at. you get to an age where you have to allow yourself more "take it easy" time. my husband is 47 and still will not do this. his complaining about what ails him is about to get on my last stretched out nerve.
