Kathyw Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I took my Mum years ago because her back had almost seized up and she was bent over. Hospital's opinion - Mum needed surgery which if failed could leave her in a wheelchair. It took five visits and Mum was straight again. All those years of machining had left Mum's right leg a tad shorter than the left and that was the cause of all the pain and bending over. I went to the neurosurgeon because I kept dropping stuff and had no feeling in my left hand on and off and as the tumour was on the left side my gp thought a visit to the neuro man was best. Neuroman said it's a trapped nerve in your arm, we will have you in, small incision, release the nerve and then you go home. I had an appointment with the chiro for maintainence and mentioned the problem. Rubbish said the Chiro, I'll deal with that now and he did. A bit of manipulation on my back and that was it. Saved me a fortune on china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzycharm Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 A McTimoney chiropractor is none evasive, so shouldn't hurt. The dogs love it , would like to be able to afford to take myself sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisaann Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks for your replies guys. Seems six of 1 half a dozen of the other. . I have had an x-ray Kathy and they never saw anything wrong. So I think that I will first see if I can hire a tens machine or mabe find a Lloyds chemist and buy one, then if that doesn't work I will see if the mattress helps, (when it finally blimmin comes ) and if that fails I shall be well cheesed off (and £500 poorer) and then use the Chiro thinggy bobby as a last resort. I do have to say tho that when this first kicked off I was well crippled with it and was unable to drive for 2 weeks as just changing gear was so painfull. ( I must have sounded as if I was having muliple orgasms with all the groaning I was doing as I drove along) However, now the pain is about 80% better than it was. I now have total use of my arms and my shoulder blades only ache sometimes. The pain seems to be centered more around the base of the neck and 2 inches either side and it's as if someone is digging me really hard in this area. I do get hubby to massage my neck but after a couple of minutes he whinges that his fingers ache still, at least he tries bless him..........my ars*! Godin, I thought we suffered from the same thing until I read that yours gave you headaches whereas mine doesn't but it is in the same place. So for all of you who are suffering as well XXX Tisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godin Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Godin, I thought we suffered from the same thing until I read that yours gave you headaches whereas mine doesn't but it is in the same place. I never connected that the headaches were related to my back sometimes they lasted for days and nothing would shift them, it actually spured me into quitting smoking because I was sure I was heading for a stroke or worse then found out almost 3yrs later that it was trapped nerves in my neck oh well I've saved a fortune by quitting If you aren't keen on the idea of going back to a chiro have you thought of going and seeing about sports therapy massage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisaann Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 If you aren't keen on the idea of going back to a chiro have you thought of going and seeing about sports therapy massage Oh blimey! you have just reminded me. The physio lady said it might be a good idea to go for a proper massage with a proper massuer as they can dedicate more time to the problem area. Thanks ANYONE KNOW OF A MASSAGE PLACE IN CROYDON/STREATHAM/SUTTON/ MITCHAM AREA WHERE THE PERSON DOING IT ISNT GOING TO FLOP OUT HIS TODGER AND OFFER ME SEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
