chiropractor

by kevinwilson @ 2008-05-07 - 14:27:51

so there i was, in my (clean) rather slinky underpants - no, not the ones with turn.ups - lying face down on the bed with a worried expression while doctor david vigorously announced he was just reaching for the oil.
you could almost see the question mark forming above my head as i desperately debated my options -

crash through the window into the busy shopping street just the other side of the net curtains

whisper 'but we've only just met'

or turn over and convince him my name is really mavis

in the end (wrong expression, i know) i did none of the above.
i just lay there as he manipulated my muscles.

i finally decided to give this a try to see if i could get rid of the fierce pain that shoots down my right leg whenever i walk.
doctor david reckons it is the sciatic nerve, but that it is trapped within a muscle rather than the spine, which is reassuring.

so, have to rest this afternoon, and hope the session helps.

back again in a week's time.

must remember to change my underpants.

Massages can be relaxing sometimes

Well! I feel for you mate! Back pain is a killer. Can't bend over. Sit down. Stand up. Walk. Carry an empty brown paper bag. Sneeze. Lay in bed comfortably. Get BIG hugs from family. Stretch. Lift the kettle to make a cup of tea. Hold a pen too long. Type. Read a newspaper. Turn over in bed. Get out of an armchair. Go to toilet.

Without the pain.

The pain that drives you to madness and cry in your beer as you try to lead a normal life but find every blinking action prohibited.

And that includes crying in your beer - it's just too painful!

Hope you don't end up on your back (ha ha ha!) for weeks at a time.

Toodle Pip.

(By the way - Request permission to scout around for a caravan thing what me and the Other Half can reside in for a week - for a holiday like! on the Island of Kevin - does that make sense I hope so).

Wifey.

is a bad back worse than a bad front?
anyway, there's a caravanny place that won travel awards - i think it's called southlands, on the isle of kevin. see if you can find it on an internet search.

Be sure to be back. Have a good rest, Kevin. :)

thank you!
good to hear from you.

Hope it helps...massage is great in any case and very relaxing...mind you, he's manipulating your body as well so probably a bit more vigorous that a relaxing massage LOL...sorry you're still in pain...my arm is still dodgy too...takes time to heal pulled muscles or tendon and to release trapped nerves...would really like to know how a nerve gets trapped?? Stupid thing, you'd think it would know where not to stick itself, wouldn't you...:) Great big hugs...XX

he reckons another session next week and i should start to feel the improvement. my sticky out pelvis bones are out of alignment apparently which might be the root cause xx

Hmmm...when we were knit together in our mother's wombs, perhaps there was only the leftover balls in the wool sack...LOL...nothing like using wool with knots in it...me with my back is the result and you with your sticky out pelvis...:) Never mind, we make up for being poorly knit sweaters in other ways...great big hugs...XXX

My mum had a problem with her sciatic nerve recently, she could barely walk, and the chiropractor also found she had developed a misaligned pelvis... a few sessions have worked wonders for her, hope they do for you too :^)

Oh and if you don't remember to change your underpants, at least take comfort from the fact you remembered to wear any at all.

Take care and rest up x

Tell me more about this doctor David - young, handsome, rich? Ooooh er, I think I just felt a twinge in my back too.

Seriously, I hope you get better soon - sciatica is agonising x

thanks - i'm confident i'm going to get over it soon x

Wishing you better!
Hubby went along to a chiroprator recently after severe back pain. He didn't think he would be able to help him....but he did. He also relieved the bank manager of a few pound but goodness was it worth it!!!

thank you ... when the pain is so bad, you'll pay any sum of money for it to go away, won't you?
