I went a few times/week for a little while, then she weaned me onto once/month.

Does your chiropractor think that your lifting at work is part of the problem? If it is, you're facing a problem. I had to stop doing only a couple of things to help my neck.

Anyway, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

My prayers are coming your way.
He said all the lifting will slow the healing process, my neck is curving the wrong way the 7 disk down my neck which is hitting my central nerves that run down my arms into my hands and up into my head, which he said might be the sinus /allergy problems that i'm having also. it hurts when i sleep, when i pick up stuff, even when i pick up Micah, Thank God Mike's been helping me at home, he's been bathing Micah, it's hard for me to even get him out of the tub. I hate being like this, i'm so independent! this is killing me. I like doing everything on my own. I hate asking people for help.. its bad when i can't even take care of my own son.. just depressing... i just want a quick fix and i know that's not the answer to this problem...
