Who Me?

Yesterday I went to the chiropractor and he told me I was the "perfect patient".  I nearly asked, "Who me?!?":)

Two weeks ago on Tuesday I woke up feeling pretty good.  My back was a little tight, but the whole week before I felt like we were really making progress.  I figured as I moved around more it would stretch out and I'd be good to go.  I did my usual walk on the treadmill and got ready for school.  As I was reaching for something in my closet I felt a horrible pain in my lower back.  When I straighten it almost went away but not quite.  By end of the day I couldn't tell which side hurt, but it did and not just my back but all the way down into my legs.  I was incredibly frustrated.  It felt very similar to the pain I had about 2 weeks prior.  That pain had been on my left side and lasted for a week. I could barely put my shoes on for fear of getting "stuck" all bent over.  I was not excited about another week of hardly being able to move.  Thankfully Tuesday is one of the days I see the chiropractor.  By the time I got there I was almost in tears.  I told him what I was feeling and he got all excited!  I couldn't believe it!  He did some checking and told me that it was a good thing the pain was were it was.  Up until that point my pain had been on one side or the other, but not the middle.  He said that for whatever reason when the pain goes to the middle of the back it means the body is starting to heal.  He adjusted me and away we went.  A day later I couldn't believe how good I felt.  I knew for certain we were on the downhill slide!   

Yesterday I made my bi-weekly trip to see my chiropractor.  He was very pleased with my progress and told me I was the perfect patient because I walked in willing to try whatever he thought would help and stuck to the plan.  I guess my willingness paid off.  Before I started my supplements he had done some tests that told him which ones I needed to take.  He did those same tests again and they showed that the supplements were helping and my body was no longer lacking what it had been.  We were both pretty excited!

He did learn about a knew concoction of supplements that are supposed to be even better for "my condition".  So once I finish the ones I have we will change over to those and see what happens.

I'm not sure what all the future holds, but my back is starting to feel better then it has for a long long time!  I'm looking forward to the day it's 100% better!
