Tossed and turned last night because my back was killing me. Woke up at 7:04, called the chiropractor and got a 10:45 appointment. I expressed my concerns when I got there. Either something is pinched, pulled(muscular) or fractured(bone, since I am on the low end of the osteoporosis train and spiraled a metatarsal a year ago from simply squatting down) He did a very non-invasive adjustment after he palpated up and down my spine probably T-5 to T-12 and around my scapula. Put the H-wave and heat on me for 20 minutes. I cam home and mad an appointment for my regular doc for the afternoon tomorrow. I had exhausted myself on anti-inflam. type drugs and a muscle relaxer with no luck. I broke down and took 60mg of prednisone about 4-5 hours ago. I am actually starting to feel some relief. And feeling a bit wired!!! So looks like not much sleep again...ugh!
Felt super tired on Friday so I jumped in bed early and finished up season one of Vikings. Slept like a log! Woke up on Saturday with something pulled in my back. Not sure if it is a muscle (I think so) or my scapula is out of whack or a rib. Hurts like hell! Maybe I was dreaming of being a shield maiden and kicking some ass and pulled a muscle in battle! LOL I did manage to get some stuff done Saturday but when I woke up this morning I had a hard time even getting out of bed. It hurts to breathe. Tomorrow I will be up early to call the chiropractor. (they open at 7 am!!!) I need some relief.

What ever you do don't laugh! I had a bruised rib years ago, and man laughing is the worst fucking thing you can do.. that and taking bong rips!
With that being said I invite you to read the Comparative Shit List in my journal posted under Odd Bits, and Drafts.
I personally don't consider Chiropractors to be a valid med profession, the whole thing is based on quackery, and unfounded research. JMHO. Though you may want to watch Penn and Tellers Bullshit: Alternative Medicine.
Not going to argue the chiro thing. Never have done me wrong yet. And I am not one to just jump and go for any ache or pain.
