thanks Marilyn, it just certain ways i move, boy does that crab you, feels like someone is twisting my neck, boy does that hurt.. being adjusted yesterday did help my allergeries alittle.. i have to go Mon. Wed. and Saturdays.. just to much on my plate again... i only have 500. on my insurance for a chiropractor a year and i told the dr. that yesterday, and i also told him i can't afford the 10. co-pays for all these visits, so he said just pay the 10.00 once a week, so he is helping me alittle. and i also told him no more x-rays i don't want him to eat up all my insurance money.

Have you thought about acupuncture? I have some back issues, when they flare up, I go to 1 treatment to the chiropractor, then 2 of acupuncture and then I'm a new woman.
Hope you are feeling better soon! |

I'm sorry you're having pain and hope you get better soon. Have you gone to your medical doctor? I had a friend who went to a chiropractor with pain and numbness in his hands and arms. He ended up in surgery and has partial paralysis. CT scans from before and after chiropractor treatment showed damage done.
I personally am not for or against chiropractors, but definitely feel some conditions warrant medical attention.

i'm going to try this chiropractor for a month and if i'm not feeling any better i'm going to make an appointment with my family doctor and see what he says.
The only problem i'm having is i start to feel better, and i have to lift heavy buckets of material at work, and i throw it off again.. my work is interfering with the work that the chiropractor is doing, i told i lift everyday, that's my job, they can't put me on light desk duty or anything like that, i'm a QC tech. and that's it.. so well see what happens.. hopefully it will get better soon.. i had all these problems when i was pregnant with the carpel tunnel and everything, thought that was over with.. just depressing, i guess i'm just getting old, ,my body can't keep up with the abuse it's getting with a man's job ![]()

Haley,
I have the same symptoms for a different reason. My neck got so bad that even with a cervical collar, it hurt to keep my head up, lay down, pretty much all the time. I tried a chiropractor and after 3 visits, the pain was almost gone. 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.

say a prayer for me
I know what you are going through, but please, get another opinion, you need to see a Neurologist. I have so many problems with my neck and spine, herinated disks, fused disks, etc. I went to therapy for 6 months was 100% back to normal. I know it costs a lot of money, but I would do anything that I could to pay for it. Good luck and yes, we are praying for you.
