This is the first of an occasional series on how to zap your frozen arm. The zap is triggered by something you don't expect. Something that startles you, and by reflex you whip your arm in one direction or another.
The result is jarring, searing pain that lasts about 5 minutes. Your arm does not like being jerked like this. Not recommended.
Zap #1
The Bouncy Dog
Occurs when you decide to lie on the loungeroom floor to do some exercises, and excitable puppy thinks it'd be fun to jump on your face. Without thinking you yank your injured arm up to protect yourself. Rusty knife jabs let you know immediately this was a bad idea.

AAGGHH - I think I just felt some phantom pain.
ReplyDeletePlaying with dogs is a combat sport. Tossing a ball if your name isn't Felipe Alou or Willie Mays (you probably don't know these guys, right?)
ReplyDeleteis not a good idea unless you're 12.
