I tweaked my neck on Saturday and proceeded to be in immense pain for the rest of the weekend through Tuesday. Pain was radiating all the way through my right arm and down through my whole right torso. I couldn't find any position that felt good. Ironically, burping (and hiccuping) was one of the most painful things I could do.
I spent my labor day weekend flat on my back watching TV most of the time. I suppose that's what other people did too, but it just doesn't seem the same when it isn't by choice.
Of particular note, when I was finally able to see the doctor on Tuesday, he prescribed a muscle relaxer. Boy do those things wipe you out. I could hardly keep my eyes open on Tuesday I was so tired. I suppose I shouldn't have been operating that forklift all afternoon (just kidding.)
The good news is that I was feeling well enough to go back to work yesterday and today I have very little pain. Now it just feels like a very sore muscle.

Glad you're feeling better.
