Friday is the last scheduled adjustment and decompression along with the reevaluation. Want to bet they try to get me to sign up for more therapy and take another $6-7 hundred bucks. Feel like I'm one of their many cash cows😐 Have you tried deep tissue massage by a trained professional? (I'm not talking about oriental Ho Houses LOL), but someone that is certified and trained? My wife has terrible sciatica and it has changed her life, as well as my recovery from major shoulder surgery. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 ...and even if the relief doesn't last long... it sure feels good while they're working on ya -------------------------------- the county school supt is coming down to wife's school tomorrow, for a photo op with wife. A professional photog, even. I could throw a wrench in the works by showing up... lol I scared the kids last time I came to the school. I think I'm the tallest person they had ever seen.... being horizontally challenged accentuates my height. ----------------------------- cute/funny SIL came down. Kid was scrambling to find a shirt/blouse to put on. She didn't want Aunt DeDe to see her bare chested... "Grandpa is OK. He sees me all the time" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Looked up "exercises for low back pain" and found a list by Kaiser Permanente. Got out the exercise mat and did a few exercises a couple of times. Bien! Helped a lot to stretch out the back some. And all along I have been very careful and resting my back rather than moving it a bit😐 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all along I have been very careful and resting my back rather than moving it a bit😐 I have similar issues with my lower back, roll in arthritis, compression and bulging disc and you're there. Had an MRI and it was decided not to operate as they can fix one or two but not all four and none of them are off the charts. So stretching it is!! Makes all the difference in the world. I also go once a week to get stretched out. Not physical therapy (too costly) but sports medicine type of facility. Keeps me on task and having someone else bend you around gets more accomplished. Sitting still and resting is never an option for me. Something I need to work on but can NOT do currently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yes the daily stretching is what I've done for decades when I wake starting before I'm out of bed. Hurt my back back when I was a teen picking up an awkward large desk that wasn't too heavy for me. It was the way I configured myself to lift it and bam! I was no good for almost a week, without the chiropractor that worked on me within an hour or so it would have been worse. For a decade I could feel the barometric pressure when it changed dramatically. Now it's just the knee that I can feel it in sometimes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
