I sent one of my back muscles into a very painful spasm the other morning before work—by putting my hair into a ponytail.
Oy I am sorry. More than once I was happily sitting with a content purring kitty on my lap only to get mauled when they became (so easily) startled...be it a doorbell or falling leaf.
I know you get it. Cats can be strange little creatures who are way too easily startled.
I think they all need adrenal support.
Hope you heal(ed) fast @stracci2000!
Great minds think alike - that’s exactly what I did. It settled down a bit, and so far, so good!I am sorry. That hurts.
Can you try rinsing/gargling with salt water or mouthwash even?
This is for all you who bite your lip/cheek or get cold sores in the mouth or on the lips.

I often bite the inside of my mouth at the lip or cheek.
The injury site would swell ... leading of course to biting again and again.OUCH!
Because of all the re-biting, some would last for weeks.
40 years ago my dentist prescribed Kenalog (Brand name) in Orabase and demonstrated how to use it.
I've never been without it since.
Works like a charm, but only after you get the hang of how to use it.
For me the generics work as well as the name brand.
The name of the medication itself is Triamcinolone Acetonide Dental Paste USP, 0.1%.
For the gel to do its job it must do 2 things - which it can't do unless you learn how to apply it correctly:
1. stick to the sore
2. not be rubbed away by movement of teeth, gums, tongue, lips, inside of cheek.
To get it to stick to the sore:
You need to apply it to the sore when the sore is clean and dry.
Here's how to clean and dry the sore without making it worse:
Clean hands
Roll (yes roll not rub) a clean new Q-tip over the sore to dry the saliva and remove some of the white coating off the sore.
Repeat once.
Apply a tiny dollip of Kenalog to the tip of your clean pinkie.
Don't rub, just dab the gel gently onto the dried sore once or twice.
If you rub it the gel will turn grainy and just crumble rub off.
With a hair dryer on COLD and SLOW setting blow sore till dry, maybe 45 seconds.
Then (without letting anything touch sore) wet the sore gently with water.
Now you're done.
Don't poke or explore it with your tongue; try to ignore it.
If the sore is on the outside of a lip use chapstick/lip balm instead of water to prevent the other lip lifting away the gel.
Do this after breakfast and before bed as long as needed (only 1 or 2 days for me).
I know, it sounds like a complicated hassle, but with practice it takes less than a minute.
Most importantly if I start doing this immediately after the injury the sore will have completely vanished by the next morning.
The longer I wait to start the process the longer it takes to heal.
I can beat you on that.......9.4oz 22inches long with a head circumference of 171/2 inches
No wonder I had a forceps delivery. Back then we had no epidurals.
Aww puppies are so adorable but yeah they can play rough when they are little. Please hug him from me. Nothing is better than a sweet playful puppy.
Aww feel better soon Sharon. Sending healing hugs your way. XO.
Same. To all of it. Healing vibes.
Ouchie Sarah. I am sorry. Hugs to you. And hope it is almost all better.
We have that in common too. At least once a day despite being careful and yes to not being graceful. But at least we don't give up.
Continued healing hugs to you sweet friend. With each week you get closer to where you want to be. XO.
(They said it was good it didn't dislodge as it could've caused perforated and organ and caused more damage)
A funny but not recent eating ouch was when I once swallowed a fishbone. Fresh steamed fish is one of my favorite foods. So I knew of and tried all the usual remedies to get it unstuck (ball of rice, wad of bread)...no luck. Not wanting to go to the emergency room over the weekend, I decided to "wait and hope it would dislodge on it's own". Crazy in hindsight as it it hurt so much to even swallow.
Monday, I called my primary care who told me that he couldn't do anything and I had to go to the emergency room. The ER couldn't see it so then tried going through my nose. When they still couldn't find it, they thought maybe it was just healing pain. But I insisted it was still there so they admitted me for an endoscopic procedure. It ended up being an almost 2 inch boned stuck in my esophagus
Sorry for everyone's ouches (knock on one, I haven't had any recently) and hope you all heal soon!
So basically, we're all a mess.
They were trying to foist an epidural on me, but I refused. My DH was 10lbs 2oz when he was born, but his mother was a big woman, unlike me, I was only 7st 10lbs when I got pregnant, and hardly put on any weight at all, everyone, including me, was astonished that DS was so big. I’m so glad I managed to chug out DS without needing any intervention, the thought of forceps
Bean the puppy is kind of rough and keeps biting me when he is excited. Hopefully, he will be calmer soon enough.

Dear lordy lord! Hats off to you both @Made in London and @Austina!!! My first was 4.91kgs (10lb 13oz) and he was an emergency caesarean post 20 hour labour, due to his pumpkin head getting stuck. I can't imagine the mischief he would have gotten into *down there* had I delivered vaginally! But I still love fatty boombah babies
Love that expression @Dandi, we always referred to DS as the Michelin Man, he was just rings of pudding from neck to toes. When the midwife called after I’d been discharged from hospital, she said I must’ve been a really good pusher because he had a lovely shaped head, rather than a misshapen one that she seen so often. It won’t come as any surprise that I was one and done!
Ow. I've broken my coccyx bone at least once, memorably. I had a huge bruise on my butt and leg. An evil pebble got caught in my Rollerblade. And I've fallen on the ice doing moves and once on marble in my hotel room in cozumel. *There was a small hurricane and water came into out hotel room from under the door. I opened the door, stepped into our room, and boom! I was down. I distinctly remember thinking, "what am I doing on the floor?"
