No News Is Good News

I have nothing much to report, which I guess is good news. I still don't know what is going on with my left side. The pain was probably muscle-related, as it was greatly aleviated by a wonderful deep massage. The redness is still there, it hasn't gone away, but it also hasn't spread or become anything more serious. A skin rash, perhaps? The antibiotics haven't made any difference, except to my peace of mind (not a trivial matter), knowing that it's probably not an infection. I am still stiff and a little sore when I wake up in the morning but an hour later I feel just fine. I have full range of motion and no other symptoms.
