I spoke with a chiroprator today - and now, I'm confused even more....and now even more heisitant if surgery is the "correct" answer. It's only 2 1/2 weeks away...this stress and confusion is killing me!!!
She told me the following:
- she's never heard of cases where scoliosis progresses significantly as to where you have to get surgery when you are older (my age: 35 years old).
- she's never heard of adults getting rods in their back - the cases she is aware of it's always been kids
- that maybe a chiroprator could help me get better!!! What? How can they help an "S" curve like mine.....and does that mean I would need to see her on a weekly basis for the rest of my life?? Can they REALLY help my curve at my age....if so...why would ANY of us go through surgery??!!!
Okay - I'm taking Aspirin daily....all day, because I am in pain. I do this so I can continue to work....otherwise, I would need to be home laying on the couch or sitting on a chair with my feet propped up. Even then, I need Tylenol to tolerate the pain. The doctor's have tried prescribing me pain killers to help the pain...but again, I have to work; therefore, I need to be in the right state of mind.
Anyone else went to a chiropractor....and if, so....did it help??
Any and all thoughts are welcome.
Thanks friends!!
