idk wtf I did but I woke up 2 days ago with this pain in my shoulder right inside where the shoulder itself meets my chest and man it hurts. It's so bad in the morning I can't lift my arm over my head. But as the day goes on (and taking some nsaids) it lessens a bit.

What did I do to myself?

as a fellow ancient decaying millenial i recommend magnesium before bed. either citrate or even better glycinate (chelated). most westerners are lacking magnesium and it serves as a natural muscle relaxant

you will sleep more log like. otherwise yeah i get some bad ones some nights probably from cats making me sleep very still. also my job is intensely physical with no 48 hr muscle recovery time (i only get 1 day off at time) and i think it's tearing my muscle fibers apart instead of bulking me up

I'll look into that.

Yo, thanks for the heads up. I always forget which vitamins and minerals do what and so just fall back to my bare minimum.
