How do you spell relief...?

I finally called the doctor today to schedule an appointment.  For about a week now, I’ve had pain down my neck and shoulder.  I don’t know whether I have a pinch nerve or it’s something else.  But my neck feels a little stiff and there is some tingling going on.  I’ve had trouble sleeping due to the pain.  I can’t handle the pain anymore…!    

I wish my doc would recommend that I get a therapeutic massage or get some type of therapy.   A couple of years ago, I was going to a chiropractor but honestly, I rather get a massage instead.  Although I’ve heard from several people today that acupuncture works wonders.  I may even consider that option if nothing else helps.   I just need some form of relief without having to take medications.  

After work, stiff neck and all, I decided to go get my pictures downloaded to a CD.  As I entered the store, I heard an old man in crutches having a loud discussion with the store manager as he was in line at the cash register (he might have been a homeless guy).  Because of him, there was a long line of customers waiting to purchase their items.  I continued to walk into the store and went over to the photo section to use a Kodak machine so I could purchase my picture CD.  

While waiting for my pictures to download, I heard the old man getting closer as his voice got louder and louder and before I could turn around to see what was going on (due to my stiff neck), he got too close to me and literally pushed me hard (with his elbow).  So I got pinned between the Kodak machine and the old man.  It happened so quickly that I did not have time to react.  Lucky for me, nothing happened.  I finally turned to see the guy and he was still walking and talking loudly as the store clerk (who was walking him out) turned to me and apologized.  Usually when things like that happen, I tend to get nervous, but at that point, I was more worried about my neck.  

So how do you spell relief..?  I DON’T CARE …!   JUST GIVE IT TO ME!!!
