| trapezius muscle |
I ended up tearing both my left and right trapezius muscles – I have had an ongoing issue with my right side that I had been prescribed physio and massage way back in June that I was supposed to go to 4 times a week, but scheduling with 3 young kids & a husband who just started a new job I had not been able to go. Now, I have totally messed up both those muscles.

| Scalenus medius muscle |
On top of the trapezius muscles I also tore my scalenus medius muscle on my right side. I have been to the doctor twice in the past two weeks for the tears and I am currently on 4 different medications because of it: a high pain killer medication, high anti inflammatory medication, high muscle spasm medication and a med for my stomach because one of the side effects of these meds are ulcers. Making you jealous aren’t I?
So, to say the least I have been in a lot of pain, very tired from all the medication and a busy stay at home mom (thankfully my older brother is in town & has been here with me). I have to do all these crazy exercises to try to heal plus fit in the physiotherapy and massage therapy sessions 4 times a week.
My apologies to those who are waiting for guest posts, articles, email replies – I promise I will get all back into the swing of things soon. Also — if you are going to Blissdom Canada this week & see me asleep in the corner or acting all crazy – I promise it is just because of the medication

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon.
I strained some muscles in my neck and back in August; I can't imagine tearing them. Rest up Mama (at least as much as you can as a mom of three!!)
So sorry to hear what happened. Get well soon Devan, missing you on Twitter!
OMG! You coughed so hard that you tore 3 whole muscles!?! That is intense! I've always wondered if that could be done and you just proved to me that yes, it can! Wow! Get better soon!

I wish I was closer for the massage, it's amazing what that can do. Take care and TRY not to over do.
Get better soon!

I've coughed so hard I thought my lung would pop out, so I can kinda sympathize! We've missed you too!
Wow, I found you through TMC as the Featured blogger and I can't believe that you have to go through this. Your poor woman. Stay strong and God will give you the strength to make it through this.
I love your blogging style and I'm your newest follower.
Sounds terrible! I hope you feel better soon! At least you have some delightful drugs and your brother for now
Oh Devan – what a horrible couple weeks you've had! Sorry to hear that! Hope you feel better soon!
