Old Remedy

(SAT) January 28th, 2011

1:51 p.m. Oooh, my neck hurts. I don't know why, but my neck has been aching for some time now. Think it started around October or November, come to think of it. A sharp pain runs through the sides and back of my neck, every time I tried to turn my head.

Have pondered the reasons that might be causing the pain though I hadn't come up with a plausible explanation so far, besides the possibility of twisting my neck in my sleep. Dubious, have tried the orthodox procedure of slowly turning my neck as to stretch the muscles, and was pretty surprised to find the pain subside considerably. The remedy worked after all. So why hadn't I done this earlier?
