Were you treated with antibiotics for infection when the screw scraped you? That's the first thing that comes to my mind. Infections can wreak havoc on your body.

I know about pains that you can't attribute to anything in particular. I rarely remember the cause on my cuts, bruises, burns, and pains, but they go away fairly quickly if they aren't serious.

They most likely bruised your muscle!! It probably didn't help that you bumped the door frame either!!Of course if you and DNaC would stop chasing each other throught the house, that wouldn't of happened!(he! he!) Let him catch you sometimes!! In the mean time get some ice! and a heat pack and alternate them!!

I agree sounds like you bruised the muscle! Our chircopractor says alt. between heat and cold thereapy and take Aleve! I hear ya on bumps, scraps and bruises! I seem to always have them! Ranch work is hard work and we all work hard! AMEN!!! Of course I am sure it has to do with getting older too! Hope you heal up real quick!!!

Ouch! Sounds painful, take care of yourself.

Thank you all for your kind words and your input. I have never tried ALEVE, I hear it is pretty good. I tend to just wait things out without meds if I can. But I may do something about this this time.

take care all!

Thank you CKaS... hubby got a good kick outta your response. HaHa hehehe

I'm sorry your shoulder is giving you grief. I hope you start feeling better soon.

He! He! We aren't so different!
(I know all about those Boys!!)
Hope your shoulder is less painful!

Ouch! Glad to hear that the Aleve is helping. Maybe you have a case of the Momma Shoulder with a little bit of rotator cuff scar tissue in there :)

I'm here anytime you 'need a shoulder'.

Getting old is just no fun.
