I can't turn right.

Recommended Posts

I woke up this morning... and I couldn't turn my head to the right without it hurting like a motherfucker. And I've got this tingly sensation in my right arm... not the good kind. And when I looked in the mirror, nothing was symmetrical. It looked like the right side of my body was sliding down. My right shoulder was lower than my left. That scares me pretty good. I don't know if I slept on it funny last night or what the fuck happened. i've never had these problems. It's still like that as I'm typing right now.

 

My folks say it's a pinched nerve, but I have no damn clue. Thoughts?

You slept on it wrong, or had a stroke.

 

I know I used to sleep on shitty pillows that made my neck hurt, it's been fucked up from a car accident and wrestling shenaniggans. One day I woke up and my neck hurt super bad and I kept getting dizzy spells throughout the day. I spent all day at home just laying there, everytime I stood up..dizzy. I bought better pillows with more neck support..and it hasn't happened since.

You're a Nascar driver?

 

I, too, assumed this was related to motor vehicles.

Well, I woke up today... I can turn my head a bit to the right without pain, but not a lot. Still have that tingly feel in my arm.

 

I know I didn't have a stroke, but I was just thinking, would I even know if I had a stroke at night? You think that would be one of those things that you remember... or die from.

Minor stroke...

My mom had a stroke at night and didn't know until she woke up and fell trying to get to the bathroom. That was a scary, scary day. I think you'd feel it on your entire right side though. Haven't you gone to a doctor yet?

Doctors are useless. Self-Diagnosis is the way to go.

Get to a doctor, now. This isn't the god damn ER.

I've had a stroke, don't fuck with em. Whether you had a stroke or not remains to be seen, but your condition sounds like it's not getting much better.

 

Could be a disc, a nerve, a stroke, or a blood flow problem. Get to the damn doctor before you die.

Zoolander couldn't turn left, fuckwads.

 

Yes, I know, but it was more the principle of not being to turn a certain way.

I never heard about this. When did this happen?

Which part? My stroke? Fuck, like two years ago I guess now. Was on the internet chilling, next thing I know shit went south in a hurry. It's not fun, it's the most horrifying feeling in the world. I lucked out with only mild nerve damage in my left arm that has left me basically unable to lift anything heavier than a can of paint with it (it's a real confidence builder lemme tell you). It was a nice side effect to the currently untreatable but not deadly disease (well, as far as they know...comforting!) ripping me to shredded wheat toast.

 

You should go to the hospital even if it's a pinched nerve just to be safe.

I never knew that. I'm sorry to hear about that man.

 

My neighbor was a heart surgeon at my local hospital, so I showed her what I had. She said it is most likely a pinched nerve. The reason my right arm and shoulder are kinda of sliding is because of the pain. She said if it still keeps going till tomorrow, I should go to a doctor. I'll trust her. My neck pain is pretty much all gone now though. That's good.

 

And the only reason I don't go to the doctors right now... my family no longer has health insurance. And I've seen people getting ripped off left and right up there at the hospital. I got run over by a go-kart at my work and I had to go to the hospital for that. Workman's comp covered it, but it was still pretty fucking pricy. X-Rays and an advil tablet... that was it really. And I believe it came out to 3200 bucks (at least that's what they told me) overall. For X-Rays and an advil. Good grief...

23.

It's one of those things you deal with in life. Well actually, I hope no one else deals with it cause it sucks. Glad to hear it might only be a pinched nerve Muggy and understandable why you don't go. My experience with hospitals hasn't been too well either.

I'm sorry to hear that 2Gold.

 

Then I read the shredded wheat toast bit and the only thing I could think of was "Eat more shredded wheat to counter act it".
