Chiropractor sites often discuss point tenderness
Posted By: Me on 2008-01-11
In Reply to: Thanks everyone! I am swamped with work due to inability to stay still for long. sm - Trouble sitting here
at those dimples like you are describing. I really think it is due to psoas muscle tightness from sitting too much for your job. If you do see a doctor, make certain you mention the point tenderness in that dimple area. And definitely stop sitting on a foot (as I sit here on one foot to take pressure off my sitter bones).

Anyone been to a chiropractor before?
What can I expect when I go see a chiropractor for the first time? X-rays, full medical history, that kind of thing? I have a weightlifting injury from 20 years that I just exacerbated 2 days ago for the first time in about 10 years. I can hardly bear to sit to work. I bent over this morning to make the bed and nearly got stuck in that position! Hopefully I can get some relief today. Thanks for input anyone may have. 
Chiropractor
I worked for chiropractors for years..mainly to get free treatment to help me correct an injury from years past that was not truly fixed when it happened. Most will do an exam and x-rays for your first visit but that should be expected. Then, usually you will go more frequently to start and then taper visits as you go. I recommend once a month just to keep things loosened after you feel better. (Did you know they can adjust your hands and wrists too!..just ask). I have been pain free for years and appreciate the help they gave me over the drug pushing of most MDs. Don't get me wrong, love the MDs but love the chiropractors too. If they offer therapy, take it. For me, that combination with the adjustments is what helped the most. Remember to drink a lot of water after your treatment and any therapy to flush out any toxins that get loosened up and running around after treatment. If you think I am whacked, water never hurt anyone, right? Best of luck.
Chiropractor?
Is this something a chiropractor could help with?? I know they realign you. But I've never been to one.
Lately and with increasing frequency... I wake up and my arms are numb and burning (I know... if they're numb, how are they burning... I don't know but they are) it wakes me up a few times a night and it takes a while to get my arms to feel somewhat normal again.. then I fall back to sleep... and it happens again.
I know it's probably how I'm sleeping... I sleep with my arm under my pillow. I've been trying very hard not to do that, but after I'm asleep, I think I must end up that way. So checking around on the internet, it seems that it's caused by some kind of carpal tunnel (my wrists being curled in while I sleep), a pinched nerve or a compressed disc.
Is this something a chiropractor could help with?
I used to work for a chiropractor...
She always takes a very detailed history on the first visit as well as x-rays if warranted. She also usually wants to see a patient several times a week when first starting out, depending on what shape they were in. And then like the other poster said, the visits get spread out. I go every month just because after sitting all day and typing, I really need it.
There are different types of methods out there as well. My DC only uses the Palmer method, which only involves her hands. Other practices use electric stim and ultrasound, which a lot of people I have talked to like.
Good luck and hope you feel better!
Anyone go to a chiropractor or work for one? sm
i've been going to a chiropractor for almost a year. i really like going, i feel less stiff. my doc prefers i come every other week. i'm wanting to tell him that i want to either come once a month or when i feel like i need adjusted. i guess my question is, has anyone seen/felt benefits from going to the chiropractor indefinitely? i do feel less stiff, not as many headaches, not as many colds, but so many people diss the chiropractors.
I used to work for the chiropractor that I still go to
She had just as many patients who came on a regular schedule as only called when they needed an adjustment. I personally go every 2 weeks just because if I don't, I can't tolerate sitting at my desk trying to work. I'm working on doing what I can to reduce my visits by trying to work in more exercise, which does help, and losing some weight (still working on that one!) But absolutely, you can tell him you don't think you need to see him as often. After going for a year, you know when your body is telling you it's time for an adjustment.
And I know people diss chiropractors, and I admit I never considered going to one until I started working for her, but I didn't have one cold the entire 4 years I worked there. Plus she's very big on nutrition and other healthy habits that I picked up while I worked there.
My sister sees a chiropractor and
the main reason she has to see him is that she sleeps with her arm over her head! He suggested she stop doing that, but she said it was the only way she could sleep. He said, "Okay, but it sure is making me money!"
I also remember a friend who would aften wake up with bruised knuckles and she didn't know why. She finally woke herself up in the middle of the night after she threw her hand over her head (again!) and cracked the headboard with her knuckles.
You might consider sewing cloth straps to your jammies, both the hem of the top and the long sleeve wrist fabric. Then you could tie them together before going to bed. At least with one arm. :o>

in my opinion, if you don't want to discuss it here, why did you bring it here?--sm
You write a lengthy post and then dismiss any response with *I don't want to discuss it here.* You are not looking for help then. sorry. JMO
I'd still like a place to discuss religious
or nonreligious beliefs for those of us who are not Christian. I'm sure that is not allowed on the Gab board, which is okay, but where does one go then?
I love hearing other points of view if they are willing to hear mine, and that certainly goes for Christians as well.
Can we discuss the call girl?
Gov's Spritzer's special someone. I read where she's an aspiring musician. I wonder if the publicity will hurt or help her.
Can you discuss this with family doctor? There is more than

My chiropractor said his plastic surgeon friends are losing their practices.
At least here in C.FL, plastic surgery is tanking!
I know its human nature to discuss things such as
there is a 21-year-old college student missing from my home town. She has not been seen since Friday. Her name is Leah Hickman. Her sister and the police were on Fox News last night - Greta (not sure of her last name) interviewed them. Please keep Leah and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Too early to discuss New Year's Resolutions?
I'm going to put extra effort into getting more organized and get back into crocheting!
Is it too early to discuss New Year's resolutions?
I have already decided that 2009 is going to be a much better year. These are my realistic resolutions:
1. To take better care of myself (this includes eating healthier, exercising even if I can only find 15 minutes, indulging in a bubble bath now and then AND making time for some of my long-forgotten hobbies).
2. Gain control of my finances. I would like to pay off one credit card by summer and do everything possible to avoid creditors calling.
3. Be a better friend by spending more time with them. It may be just having lunch once a month or surprising them now and then with their favorite chocolate or coffee. Something to show that they mean something to me!
I think you should discuss this with your doctor or maybe your local cancer center.
Get a professional opinion and professional help, yes I'm referring to a psychologist with the second. It almost sounds as though you think if you continue smoking you won't get cancer as quickly?! Nothing comes without work, quitting smoking or fighting cancer.
My father died of lung cancer, shortly after quitting. He had the same fear as you but after finding the cancer said he wish he had quit sooner and lessened his risk. The risk is always there, it is just how much you let it increase before you do something about it.
Quality of life is also something to consider. If the cancer is there (assuming there is by your fears), it will probably be caught at an earlier stage and very well be treated successfully.
I say start with your PCP. Then talk to your friend and get a first hand opinion on her situation since that is basically what you fear.
try looking at these sites - sm
Craigslist under Louisville had a real estate section/rental section.
Try BuyOwner.com. you can rent or buy to own.
Try sublets.com.
My DH looks at some sites now and then - sm
but just the picture sites; he does not pay or do any webcam sites. He listens to Howard Stern too, which is mainly where he gets the website addresses and he checks them out. He does not do it very often though and he knows I think it is s-t-u-p-i-d but I don't feel threatened by it though I don't have those girl's bodies or boobs (I'm not even an A, his ex was a D) He does not go there to get off though. But if he started to do webcam or pay sites then yes I'd have something to say. He know this too. I know him well enough to know he would never cheat on me; but if he ever did I'd be out the door. But your definite and mine vary on that score. Looking to me is not cheating, he'd have to be in the room with them touching them somehow. Though again I do not like the webcam thing and would not tolerate that either. This is an issue you should definitely discuss with him before giving up on your marriage.
Not sure of any sites to look at, but
I was taking care of my 90 y/o grandma until a few months ago. She used to live with my mom and then when my mom passed away I took over her care. She really didnt need any type of health care, as she is very healthy for 90, but I had to do all her domestic care as she was just too old to clean, wash clothes, grocery shop, et cetera. She recently moved into an independent living apartment, so much of that has eased, but she still needs some looking after. It is not an easy job, but the rewards are wonderful. It pleases me to be able to care for my aging grandma. She is an awsome person and I hope I can do everything possible for her. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you are looking for. Grandparents are a blessing!!
Fun web sites
Fun web sites along these lines. They even give some tips for achieving the looks. You could print them out.

The sites I read
made it sound like that is traditional thinking, that stopping use of laxatives will always or usually reverse the condition. But I also saw a site or two that admitted that there have been studies that didn't correlate the two things as always going together. And melanosis coli causes no symptoms, so if you were there for something symptomatic and she didn't treat you, I'm not too impressed with her doctoring. They have good choices now for chronic constipation, and there can be anatomical reasons for constipation; it doesn't make you a head case. MiraLax works well, and it's now offered OTC.
I think this was the site that said melanosis coli didn't cause symptoms, or else something else that I found interesting.

It's not the fact that he goes on those sites
My husband and I have used porn during our marriage to "spice things up," and I was perfectly okay with that. The OP is not. This is an area of marriage where I think there must be either agreement or acceptable compromise, or the marriage will not work.
Yes, they should try to work things out before giving up on their marriage. But it doesn't sound promising.
Here are 2 sites I've used before. sm.
The perfumed court specialize in samples of perfumes, My friend turned me on to them who gets samples from them all the time and I've gotten quite a few as well.

The perfume emporium has a section on mini perfumes.

Happy shopping!
good sites
Thanks for the sites. I had her call her grandma and talk to her dad. I dont think she will cut her hair again... or at least until she is a teenager rebelling against society or what not.
This was on before and she noted on many MT sites s/m
that the "work" they did was all practice dictation, not her real work.
Sheesh, no I don't shop on either on those sites. They
jaj;da
Truthfully, I'll be using both sites
I don't know why we necessarily have to chose. I'm here or there for the information and fun at times. I visit other MT sites as well.

Good ideas below, also bento sites (sm)
For variety, if he's at all food adventurous, try bento type meals (Japanese).
Lunch In a Box has a great article on food safety for bentos. Some things you may not have to refrigerate if packed safely. Also Fit & Fresh is a good brand of boxes with custom-fit ice packs to keep stuff cold for 6 hours. Combine that with a thermos with warm food and you've got a good winter meal.
If you find yourself fascinated by bento as I was, Just Bento is another good site for info on it.
I don’t read the sites you give as I disagree with you
and don’t need to look any further. What you say is wait until a guy gets old enough, may not have issues and then if he does get it wacked off then and then go through much more pain than he would certainly remember as a child or even have as a child. Yeh, makes a lot of sense to me.
Thank you for your kindness - i did find a few things on competition sites sm
but they were all pretty boring, lol. we are going to do like you suggested and rent some of those movies this weekend to get that frame of mind going. i coached her little league cheer group and we won first place at competition so she is kinda counting on me for help, but i am brain froze on cheerleading, LOL!
I love that site, one of my no-fail smile sites.
Love the picture; I love my kitties.

Sounds good! I can tell you that these dating sites do not work. I have never seen so many needy
men on them. I wont meet anyone without talking to them first by phone and believe me when I tell you they all have their stories as to why they are broke, why they have been married 5 times, why they are still raising kids at 60 years old, etc. What you suggested sounds good. I have a few lifelong male friends that I usually always go places with so I never really had an opportunity to meet other new people when I go out and about so I plan to start doing more things on my own. I really dont mind doing that. It may be fun actually. Appreciate all your ideas!
and yer point? - many MTs are 55+...in the USA....
However, to the Jean Stapleton responder, Jean isn't Jewish *lol*
E-Bay will never help at this point. Way too
soon. Most sellers do not write and let you know its shipped - the old days, perhaps, but not now. E-Bay and Paypal both use 10 days out, I believe, as the earliest you should start to fret at all - its only up to the seller to ship immediately and/or let the buyer know. I've been dealing with E-Bay since its inception, and we are also Power Sellers - unless the seller has a lot of negatives, I would just chill. If they did have negatives, you should not have dealt with them. I am assuming the seller didn't have negatives, and just is not going to be rushed. Its really lost the personal touch of the old days, and you are nothing more than an invisible entity buying something thru the mail. Not the way we do business, but the way most business is done now on E-Bay. Good luck!
And your point would be??
Any drug company whether Merck or another making the drug would, duh, naturally make a profit. I think that is why pharmaceutical companies are in the business or am I missing something here?
I think his point was that
for things like STD's or perhaps a vaccine for boys to keep them from giving girls STD's in the first place, MAYBE keep them from getting prostate cancer. He just wondered if the drug companies are working as hard on these things for young boys or if, once again, they are putting the burden on females.
She's got a point though!
You cannot hold a job down and have a child on one knee. You need both hands to type. Time and time again, these posters get on here and ask how to do it? I don't think Minnie is too way off track here. I mean, you have to set boundaries. You can't expect to coddle a toddler or infant all day and type at the same time. She'll have to make some changes if she's not getting the support from her hubby. Not everyone has family to fall back on for babysitting needs, but the OP sounds like she'd be better off getting a job on-site and taking her children to daycare as they may receive better treatment. Sounds like a lot of hostility in that household, which cannot be very good for the children. Some changes need to be made and quick before it escalates into something worse. It is not fair to the children.
I think you do have a point, but sm
the same goes for married people. When I got married my coworkers wanted to know when we planned to start a "family". So once we started the "family" they wanted to know if we planned on having an only child or having more children? It never ends. Some people are, well. "nosey". They like to know everyone's business. It gives them something to fill the voids in their lives I would guess. I wouldn't worry to much about mixing with this crowd too much. Sometimes I wonder if being single isn't more "hip" now than it was in the past. Have fun and enjoy. Life is too short!
my point exactly--sm
by the way this person keeps pushing this stuff about koreans teaching anti-americanism, it makes you think that this was the reason this kid did this, which is just not the case. I'm glad to know there are others that feel the way I do!
my point exactly! nm

You have to look at it from their point of
If you loan out money/credit and someone promises to pay, and this happens with several borrowers, you cannot afford to give much in the way of leniency.
They are in the business to make money.
I feel for you. Unfortunately, too many people live check to check or beyond their means and it only takes 1 foul up to do this to them.
Your best bet is to work hard to put yourself into a place where you don't have to worry about it.
My point exactly!
It is the craziest thing- I will never understand it. Do they not realize that they are not only encouraging people to declare bankruptcy but in a sense actually rewarding them for it?!?
But you know, I think it comes back to what I was saying earlier- they just write it all off so they really don't care if the money comes from you or not. They always get their money one way or another. Grrrrrr!!!
What is your point? nm
x
yep, my point exactly (OP)
Teaching them in life they will always be rewarded for something...NOT! I think an award should genuinely be earned and I'm sorry if all the kids don't get one...they just need to work harder and earn it...
That's my point (sm)
If it's backwoodsy, so what? This is the gab board. People chat. You don't think asking if somebody's young and calling her dearie is being the grammar police or a little hateful first thing in the morning? She *was* referring to a childhood event, and yeah, children itch their itches sometimes where I'm from.
Odd turns of phrase are still to be found in all parts of the country and on a board like this are going to turn up in "casual conversation." Some of us still have our "work vocabulary" and our "casual vocabulary," and they're not always the same.
