Once again, my back has been killing me. Really, the pain never stops. I average, yes average an 8 on a scale of 1-10. I have good days, but really, my good days would be anyone else's "ouch, that's a bitch days".
Linda, apparently feeling awful hearing me wake up in the morning, squealing in pain just to turn over, had enough of it. She scheduled us both for a consultation at a chiropractor down the street from work. I was thinking, "Ok, free massage..."
Well, the guy was awesome! Not only was he knowledgeable but very personable. We hit it off immediately, but beyond that, I was still skeptical. He was still a quack chiro guy after all is said and done. The initial consult, which for me was extensive (Linda took 10 minutes), was thorough, and x-rays were taken.
We went back for those results today, and for our first adjustment/therapy session.
I was stunned. Apparently I have a broken vertebra. As he stated, it likely happened in my last major vehicle accident... 14 years ago!! That kinda injury doesn't heal without some help. It only gets worse, if untreated, for like 14 YEARS!!! I've had x-rays, and been to see people for my back before... never heard of anything being broken... BROKEN! Doctors are supposed to find this shit, and make it better!!
I have hopes that this new guy will do just that. I've been in pain for far too long, and I have so much life still left in me to just sit down and stop. Hopefully my next update will be that I'm feeling better and that my back is on the mend.
