This chiropractor is definitely a life-saver. I’ve been off pain meds for over a week now — only had one bad night of pain... last night after I sneezed and felt something in my neck pinch and gave my whole body a shock. Then pain throughout my whole body for a while (I think the nerve was pinched or something, and although I didn’t REALLY hurt all over, I think that’s the message my brain was getting). It was very strange, and frankly rather scary. I think it’s what caused the migraine I got shortly after that as well.
I’m doing better today although things still feel swollen — have an appointment for a “re-evaluation” in the morning, so I’m actually glad it happened before tomorrow’s appointment, and not after.
Anyway, I’m glad I found him, and that I’ve had the strength and motivation to wean myself off the painkillers. Praise God it hasn’t been too bad.
We actually found out via a new X-Ray (it had been 2 years) that my neck was actually starting to curve backwards right above my shoulders (c-4, c-5 & c-6), and my vertebrae were actually starting to deposit calcium to try and fuse them together! The chiropractor thinks we can at least slow down this process — I hope we are successful.
Had I merely continued going to the pain doctor after my other doc got sick at the back clinic, I doubt we would have known how bad it was starting to get. I met another lady at the chiropractor at my last visit who got treated the same as I when our doctor left — I was happy to know it wasn’t just me that was feeling like we were being shoved out the door...
Well, sorry to complain so much! LOL As you said, it’ll take time — especially to lose the weight and strengthen my muscles again, but I don’t feel like it’s pointless and impossible anymore... Can’t wait to tell my “pain specialist” that I don’t need him anymore though!
You remain in my thoughts and prayers as well, Granny! Love you! :)

I thank you for all your prayers, they must be working, for I am still here.
Don’t be in a big hurry to get rid of the Chiropractor, for they should be seen several times a year.
It was my aunts who convinced me to start going to them, they went each month, before time for their periods and got an adjustment and they never had cramps.
It would help many teen aged girls to go.
For myself, when I started going, I had a hip that would come out of the socket, and I would fall, caused by a car accident.
It took several weeks and it is still in place, and works fine, for the last 40 years.
I never had a good one up here, but in Yuma we had a crazy one and yes he was good.
I forget to tell folks to use the vacuum cleaner for their headaches.
The first time Dr. Comer used it on me, I was sure he had flipped and was too sick to get dressed and leave, all I could do was lay there and think “that really is the vacuum cleaner he is using on my back”......
Use it without any nozzles, on your back and on the head, do not leave it in one place long enough to pull the skin and break or cause blood blisters, but instead, slowly move it over the skin and the suction will bring blood to the area and also cause the nerve endings to wake up and do their job.
All I can say is it works.
I met a Barber here that had used his on a customers arm, after a stroke, every day the man came in and Bob used it on the arm and shoulder, until the arm was fully working again.
A no harm done method that pays off.
THANK GOD, NO CANCER.
They are going to keep an eye on it, but for now it did not show any cancer.
Thank you for all your prayers, Diana sends her thanks also.
Now if we can hear more good reports, it will be wonderful.
Thank you to all the Prayer Warriors.
