When I woke on Thursday morning, I was aware of having a really rather 
stiff neck. It turns to turn my head to either side. And I have no idea why.

On Friday morning, it got a little better. It didn't hurt as much then.

On Friday night, I finally took some painkillers. And mum made me do 
some washing up.

This morning, I woke up and discovered that my left shoulder is now in 
absolute agony. I mean, on Thursday my neck was a bit stiff, but 
*nothing* like this. Each time I move in a certain way, I get sharp 
stabbing pains in my left shoulder. (Not my neck, my shoulder now.)

And it's not even when I move my left arm. When I swallow liquid my 
shoulder hurts. When I left my right knee to take a step, my shoulder 
hurts. When I turn my hips, my shoulder hurts. And yet, I can actually 
still lift moderately heavy items with my left arm without any pain at 
all. WTF?

Several questions immediately spring to mind:

1. Why the hell was my neck stiff in the first place?

2. Why has my shoulder suddenly started hurting when it was getting 
better before?

3. Why does moving parts of my body unrelated to my shoulder make my 
shoulder hurt?

4. How can I find a position where my shoulder stops hurting?

5. What can I do to make it heal faster?
