A new "relationship"...

I have entered into a new long term relationship with my chiropractor...A few weeks ago I started getting some pain in my right arm and then a couple weeks ago it turned into constant pain in my right arm, numbness in my right ring finger and pinky and a tingling feeling from the elbow to wrist...After a week of that I decided it wasn't going to go away on it's on, so on the recommendation of Rob I contacted his chiropractor...They sent me for full spine, neck and lumbar x-rays a week ago and yesterday I had my first chiro appointment...

I was a little nervous going in, for any of you who know me, I hate seeking any form of medical attention, but it was becoming unbearable at work...Anyways first appointment was a little overwhelming, but Dr. Christopher is exactly the kind of doctor I like...He explains everything step by step and told me exactly whats wrong with me on the x-ray and where it is on my back and unfortunately its A LOT!!! I have vertebral subluxation in my neck and shoulder, a pinched nerve in the base of my neck and in my right elbow, a rib out of place, degeneration of the vertebrae in the bottom of my spine and my spine leans to the left...I felt great in the neck and shoulder after leaving my first appointment yesterday, but my arm was extremely painful...

I had my second appointment today...I found out I have 1 more issue...on top of my spine leaning to the left it also twists to the left...my head naturally leans to the left and my chin comes in towards my left shoulder...I have zero medical knowledge, but I can even tell looking at these x-rays that my back ain't right! I wish I could get a pic of the x-rays to post to share with you cause it's kinda cool to see...scary, but cool...

I think the biggest shock was that the chiropractor told me I might not be able to play baseball next summer or if I do it will have to be very "light", with little throwing...not really baseball if ya ask me :-(

I truly believe Dr. Christopher will be able to help me, but I am a little worried about the time and money that it will cost me! Only time will tell, but I am sure this is not the last time you will hear about it!
