With or without a mask? Not asked to put you on the spot. I’ve had 2 haircuts since COVID hit. The barber wears a mask, I wear a mask, and I take it off one ear at a time so they can do my side burns. :)

got the second shingles vaccine today. the first time it took a day or two for my harm to hurt but it was really sore a few hours later. last ne made me pretty tiered in the middle of the day the next day but I also had the flue shot at the same time. but this time I woke up so tired and exhausted. I was told it would be worse than last time. I wanted Ito ut of the way so when the covid vaccine comes around I could handle it.

Just got my second of the series shingles shot last week. I felt a little off for a day before it passed.

With, and the mask was removed (by the loops) when the hair over/around/behind my ears was being cut.

Shingles is profoundly unpleasant - I write as someone who has had it as an adult.

I do that next month. My arm hurt for days after the first one. Not looking forward to the second.

I have been doing my husband’s hair for a couple of years now. Turned out to be an experience we both rather enjoy. Fortunately, his hair does not require much styling.

I’m going to the salon with my BFF tomorrow since we’re both on winter break. I have seen her at a distance exactly once since the pandemic started. And neither of us has had a pedicure since last February. So we will mask up (I’m breaking out the one with the electric fan!) and we’re going to a high-end place for pedicures. I shall report back.
 
Decent Brother has been the phone for the past 50 minutes, and we had a very good chat.

As tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death, and, as he attended the church service today (by webcam), as always, we had plenty to discuss.

It's certainly in the list of side effects,i.e., joint pain. I'd try some OTC pain killer(s), Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, etc., whatever is safe (and has a history of good results) for you.
 
yes but I don't sit a lot I am a woodworker it just started after. woke up. feels kind of like my arm thats hurting too. I was told it would be worse with the second dose. I felt loin I needed to go back to sleep when I woke up.
cant take any pain meds they hurt my esophagus way too much. just sitting here is ok. our bike ride was fine too just walking around makes it hurt. we rode 14 miles all in the rain today.

Could be the vaccine, though it is usually muscles and smaller joints. Should be transient. Regardless:

That. Ibuprofen 800mg if you don't have sensitive stomach, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. Acetaminophen 1000mg if you do, but your liver is fine:)

nope that is hard on it too. its what got my esophagus really bad when I had to take it so much for a torn rotator cuff that and antiimflamitories. (or however yo spell it) I might take it once that will only hurt a little. I am very careful about hurting myself because I don't have any form of relief anymore. plus most pain meds don't do a lot for me. like morphine just give me a headache.
