Today was a crazy busy day! Yoga, then took a friends to Lakeland to 'shop" at another friend's "store" (my friend coupons like crazy and resells to benefit various charities) then a quick lunch and home to meet Jon and take everyone over to St Pete to see a Chiropractor.....
He is one of my good friend's doctors and she swears by him. No one has been able to help my neck/shoulders or even give me a good answer.....Well I finally got the answers.... My neck is messed up. He asked me what happened...I have no answer except it started hurting last year. He did x-rays and showed me all the problems. He worked on it some but I was so afraid of pain, that it was hard for me to let him do much. What he did do, was work with a little thingy...that he pressed on my back and neck. He also found the spot on my right side that pain is radiating from and was able to diagnosis in a way that made me feel like he knew what he was saying. Afterwards I felt a little bit better and really sick on my stomach. I think being sick on my stomach was my body's way of dealing with the extra blood flow or whatever that was going on. I was ok after a little bit. He advised both me and Jon not to be picking up anything over 25 pounds. He also thought the yoga class was good for me to be working on relaxing the muscles and hopefully getting some more range of motion. I plan on seeing him on a regular basis since he is the first one who has tried to help me and not just thrown medicine at me! Next time I'm having the Doctor see Sam and Sarah too. His office is Florida Chiropractor in St Pete Florida. I would recommend him to you all.
Afterwards we went out with our friends....to eat....yes I talk about healthy eating and all I've done is eat out this week! But I'm on a "going out" fast No more eating out except on Sundays after church! I feel like a huge hypocrite!!!
Selah has had a good quiet day with us all gone. She is resting well tonight. She did have a small storm last night but recovered pretty quickly. WHEW!
Thanks for all the prayers....we really appreciate them!

I get the same way after the chiropractor. It's only been explained to me that chemicals and nasty stuff get stored in your muscles and joints and by releasing those chemicals (through spinal manipulation) they go to the stomach etc...thus making us sick!
ReplyDeleteI go once a month and just swear by them. I hope you continue to have great success!!
It's good to know that you felt better after your visit with a chiropractor. Thankfully, this treatment was developed; it's really beneficial for us. It's much safer, and yet effective. But most importantly, there is no oral medication needed. Corine Traina @ USHealthWorks.com/San-Jose-Center.html

I can remember the time when my chiropractor asked me about the cause of my body pains, and I didn't know what to answer too. I thought some pains are just caused by overwork, but then he answered all the questions. Months passed now, and I do hope you continued your chiropractor sessions. How are you now? :)
