Pain

Maybe you're too old....
lol JK, man. Idk, honestly..

I was adjusted to the truck after 2 months or so...

 

Have you had it checked out or just doing the home remedy treatments ?

 

I would suggest a massage from a young lady from the Asian side of the Pacific.

 

All new drivers go through pain adjusting. It probably took a year for my tailbone to adjust. Then yep shoulder pains too. Eventually it goes away. Wait until you get in your 50's when you are all wore out and the pain really returns.

 

Could be a pinched nerve but likely it's your posture. I would consult a doc and see if you can go for a round of rehab. Believe when I say that getting good rehab with a physical therapist is a Godsend. I've had a couple of ailments with one pretty serious and with proper rehab, it made me a new man.
do not underestimate the power of rehab. Your body will respond and heal your pain. Forget about pain killers. That's no good at all.
good luck

 

Great. I'm in real trouble. Been driving only a little over a year & turned 50 last June. The deck is stacked against me!!

 

1. Are you using your armrests? That would help to keep your shoulders and head in proper alignment & ultimately alleviate further damage. Also, be very watchful of your body mechanics when you're getting in and out of the truck. It's easy to pull shoulder and neck muscles doing it wrong. Another position to look at---are you sitting too far back from the steering wheel?
When your hands are on the wheel at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, your elbows should be bent and as close to your body as you can safely turn the wheel. Extending your arms and not having a bend in your elbows will really cause all your difficulties as well as the other things I mentioned.

2. The green ADVIL gel caps have worked wonders for me. Yeah, I know, Ibuprofen is Ibuprofen. But really it isn't. I swear by the green Advil.

3. How long you been behind the wheel? It can take some time to get used to this job. Your using muscles in a way they haven't been used before.

4. If you've got an inverter, be sure and get a heating pad at Walmart so you can put it on your upper back while you sleep. That will help to relax the muscles.

Let me know how you're doing and if you have any doubts about my advice, ck out my profile and you'll see I've got some qualifications to back it up.

 

OMG,,,lmao..and it starts already,,,hahahaha
