I haven't got time for the pain (an ode to Carly Simon)

Sometime last week I woke up with what appeared to be a horribly pinched nerve in my right shoulder. It was pretty bad. It hurt to move my arm, shoulder, even my head to some degree. I tried stretching, rubbing, ibuprofen with little result. I figured I would just wait it out and it did get a little better each day. Sometimes it would feel a bit better after my run; I guess it loosened up due to all the bouncing up and down. Then yesterday morning I was awakened at 5am with the pain back in full force. I went and got a massage and went to bed not optimistic for today. I was pleasantly surprised when I slept quite well (something that's proven difficult these past few days) and woke up with the pain knocked down by several orders of magnitude. Unfortunately, as the day has worn on the pain is once again ramping up. I'll be heading out for my run soon so perhaps that will help. At the very least the pain in my shoulder should distract me from any twinges I might feel in my legs, right? I don't have time for this crap.
