It's never great to be unwell while you're away on holidays, but I've been pushing through the pain for a bit too long and now it's likely to cost me a bit extra in treatment sessions.
Since about Christmas day I've had some pain in my neck when I turn, and with personal massage, Voltaren gel, and heat pack treatment it's just been getting worse slowly, So yesterday I finally relented and went to see the physio.
Nearly an hour long session involving her manually manipulating my neck joints and muscles, deep heat massage of the back and shoulders, and a run through a couple of exercises and it felt a lot better.
Come this morning and it wasn't as good as yesterday after the session, but it was still way better than before the session. Today was with a different physio at the clinic, and he talked through a few other techniques and mostly focused on working the neck joints and it feels a lot freer than beforehand.
Next appointment is on Friday, but it really is quite improved over where it was. Just not a great way to be spending a couple of days of a holiday, but at least I've not been vomiting or nauseous like a couple of the other people here.
As a result of not feeling great, and needing to take more time out, today you get to enjoy reading about my not great health.
Tonight though, we're off to dinner out at one of the local pubs before my fiancee's parents go home tomorrow.
