Day 5 and 1/2 but in pain

I woke up this morning, feeling really good and proud of myself. My brother and his fiancee sent me flowers last night telling me that they knew I could do it and that they were proud of me.  Well on my way to the car this morning I slipped on the ice while carrying the baby.  I caught myself with my right arm (no harm to the baby) but through my shoulder into spasm.  That is how I got addicted to these awful pills because I have a neck problem that puts my shoulders into spasms.  I took 600mg of Advil, and put a heating pad on the shoulder.  I plan to go to the chiroprator when he opens in hopes of relief.  I just don't know if anyone has any other suggestions.  I am legitimately in pain.

Oh no...I am soooooo sorry to hear that.  I am praying for you right now.  
Hopefully some of the methods you are speaking of will do the trick...you have came too far for this.  This will just be a stepping stone in the right direction, not something to stumble over.  Maintain your positive thinking, keep your mindset and continue being strong - I know you can do it - no doubt about that.
Please continue posting and let us know how you are.
