I am getting used to it now and it does not panic me like before. I used to check on my symptoms on Web M.D., but that is not a good idea, as they can come up with all kinds of rare and deadly diseases you may have from a simple hang nail.<br /><br />I say give everything two weeks, if you are still alive, it was no big deal. However, pain lasting longer should be checked out by a doctor.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-38045894473250596982012-01-02T14:40:10.554+00:002012-01-02T14:40:10.554+00:00You probably just strained a muscle, but sometimes...You probably just strained a muscle, but sometimes those little ones can hurt just as much as the others.
