Agh! My back is killing me. I went to my dear chiro last Thursday and he found that my C2 was rotated so he thought to adjust my neck to put it back into place. Well, after he did it, it was a bit sore, but he told me that it would be so I just ignored it. It's been bothering me more than usual since then and last night I was up between 2 and 4:30 tossing and turning due to the pain that this adjustment has caused. The pain is at the crook of my neck and radiates into the shoulders and down my spine. Honestly, this is the worst my back has felt in a long time. I know these chiros mean well, and I like this guy a lot, but I worry about the harm they can do too. As I was surfing the internet about how to treat severe neck pain, I came across this site that quoted story after story of people who have died of brain strokes after having their necks adjusted. My heart started to race and yes I got upset thinking the worst (I am a classic melancholic after all) but in the end if I die it's all in God's hands so I need to just trust Him. Well anyway, I go back to the chiro tomorrow and pray he can help me fix this. You want to believe your doctor is there to make you feel better, but sometimes they screw things up, accidentally mind you, but it still affects you in many ways. While they can go home and sleep soundly, you on the other hand can't and have no way of getting in touch with them to explain your situation given it's the weekend and a three day one at that since it's Memorial Day. Why do these things almost always come up when you can't get to your doctors? Grrr...
Chest pain getting better though :-)
