I'm not sure if I'm able to go to a chiro without a doctor's referral... but maybe. I doubt I'd be able to get in today though. I talked with my cousin this morning (she works in a hospital, wants to be a nurse) and I told her the whole story and she thinks I may have gotten a loose disc from my fall last year, and it keeps pinching the same nerve. When it started last night it almost felt like something shifted in my back. But that SHOULD show up on x-ray so I'm hoping they'll do x-rays today

I'm sorry that you're in pain, Lindsay. I think that I'd get the x-rays before I went to the chiropractor. You need to make sure that there's not a problem that wasn't spotted from before. I hope that you find relief soon.

Well, I just got back from the doctor. After describing what happened, and how the pain now seems to shoot through my hips and down the top of my left thigh, he was sure I just pinched a nerve. I got some anti-inflammatory painkillers. He said I might not find releif today but it will start to subside. He gave me enough pills for 10 days. Since even sitting hurts, I've decided to take the afternoon off work too. Time for my heating pad!

You may want to ask them to do a MRI with contrast of your complete spine. The contrast will show far more than xrays ever do.

Well I decided to go camping with my friends for the weekend. The car ride was NO FUN. My back was killing me. I let everyone else do all the setting up tents and everything and I just sat back and rested. But, after taking just 2 pills on Friday, I woke up Saturday morning with no pain at all!
