Whatever I Feel Like

There’s something wrong with my arm. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s been bothering me for a couple of months now. I just keep thinking it will work itself out and stop hurting on its own. The thing is, it doesn’t always hurt – just when I move it certain ways. The pain is on my left upper arm, just below my shoulder on the outer side. It radiates down almost to my elbow when I move it the wrong way.

One thing I thought would help would be to start lifting weights. I don’t know why that occurred to me, but I thought if my arms were stronger, they wouldn’t hurt. That makes a lot less sense when I type it out than it does in my head. Today I went swimming in my sister’s pool, so I thought getting in some laps would be good for my arm. Boy, was I wrong. I couldn’t even go a full length of the pool before my arm completely gave out on me. I was in the deep end by then, though, and started floundering a bit while trying to get to the side. I called Rob over to help me; he, of course, loved mimicking me and poking fun the rest of the time he was in the pool. Jerk. Hee!

So now my arm is in constant pain instead of the occasional pain I was experiencing before. I guess this means I’m going to have to finally cave in and call the doctor about it. I have no idea what it could be, maybe I need to do some Googling first. Because we all know how well a diagnosis from Google works.
