update on the back
Saw a new Dr yesterday who was referred by my primary care. Did a thorough exam, measuring bones and checking joints (much better exam than anyone else has done). First comment was how messed up my right hip joint was... After about 35-40 mins of all kinds of tests/stretching/measuring/poking/prodding... he gave me some "adjustments" which were radically different than any of the others that have been attempted. Result was that my lower back muscles relaxed almost 100% and at least that part of the body felt like a million bucks. Mid and upper are still kind of messed up an tight, but his first rounds of treatment take 4 sessions, so I'm looking forward to next week. It will be absolutely amazing if I can be mobile again without the help of modern chemistry and will allow me to return to a much more normal life. Crossing fingers :-)
