Ouch!

Woke up this morning feeling like I had been repeatedly punched in the neck. I keep getting these terrible pains/cramps in my neck and it has to be the most painful thing ever. This coming from the guy who broke his wrist in two places and has been run over twice. My housemate is such a fucker he thought it was funny so he insisted on trying to make me laugh all day as this bought on the cramps/pain. Someone tells me I may have pinched a nerve. I found this on it:

"The term pinched nerve describes one type of damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. The injury may result from compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include numbness, "pins and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep." Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. The extent of such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage or complications. Pinched nerve is a common cause of on-the-job injury."

Its much goddamn worse than pins and needles I can tell you that. Weren't up to uni so I just stayed in and started watching the fifth season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and I have to say it just doesn't get boring, its still as funny as ever. I'm going to watch a few more episodes then have an early night. Work tomorrow I just hope my neck feels better otherwise I am truly fucked.
