I threw my back out again. It happened right before church 2 Sundays ago and I made it to church through sheer force of will, but have been taking it easy ever since. A friend whose mom has the same problem suggested it might be my sacroiliac (SI) joint in my pelvis and after a good bit of research, it certainly sounded possible! I finally broke down and called a chiropractor. They took x-rays and I was absolutetly shocked at how twisted my spine and pelvis were. I also found out I have an extra vertebrae which definitely doesn’t help my back situation! I’ve been getting adjusted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning and it’s made a world of difference. Howe we’ll pay for it, I don’t know…but it is worth every penny.
I admit that I was somewhat skeptical of chiropractic care…while I believed they could help with back pain, I wasn’t entirely sure I believed it went further than that. But I’ve seen changes in some other things (including kidney stones!) that have made me think there may be more to it, but I’m not totally convinced yet. It’s definitely helped my back, though!
I intended to write some more posts about last decade, but I feel like it’s too late now. Oh well, I may do it anyway. It was fun for me to remember the pivotal moments of the decade!
