Paaaaaaaaaain

I have got a SPLITTING headache from behind my left eye to the back of my neck. The sun is shining and reflecting off the windows in a neighbouring building, the sky is bright through the window, striking my eye like a knife. The lights are on too, the bright artificial light reflecting up from the huge white paper pad on my desk, on which my laptop sits and millions of important notes are written, infiltrating my peripheral vision. I'm in the office, staring at the computer.
There's no escape from bright light.
Every time I move my head, it feels like a cord being tugged from the back of my neck, pulling my brain and my eyes backwards. It's sore.

There's a nerve in my right arm which is trapped. It shifts from time to time, but my whole arm aches. A dull ache with occasional sharp pains. My elbow hurts, I can't rest on it and the skin is sore when anything touches it, even lightly. My third finger and my little finger tingle, a bit like pins and needles. The bone on the far side of my wrist - the bit that connects my little finger and my arm - is delicate and painful. My arm feels heavy and a burden. It's like it has just been stuck on my body and shouldn't be there. I have so little energy or strength in it, it just hangs limply by my side and hurts.

My legs ache from sitting down all day. My toes are sore from being closeted into trainers which aren't meant to be worn for prolonged periods of time.

My body is weary from early mornings, being in the office from 9-5 and a lack of B vitamins.
I feel old.
