I have a bandaid on my neck
.... this is not a metaphor. This is actually supposed to help.
Ridiculous? Yes.
I decided to watch Eraserhead after my PT visit in which I got the bandaid put on just to surround myself with something more surreal than this fix. Now I am in in the mindset that ridiculous things are only a big a deal as we make them.
Actual solution? Could be.
The bandaid is there as a booby trap, if you will, for when I am studying or on the computer to NOT strain my neck. When I feel the tension on my skin from the bandaid, I know that I am not using my eyes to look down. ¡With symptoms of TOS, using your neck to do look down a lot agitates the ulnar nerve!
I will give it a try for a few days.
