Well I made it through Thanksgiving . I thought it was going to be the worse one in my history because of my pain and my family didn't come over . But they surprised me Sunday after Thanksgiving . It was such a happy day. The pain was still there but having my family together over ruled the pain.
So now as it stands my back surgery is scheduled for December 4th. With a full recovery time of six weeks . I am nervous and excited. But am so ready for this debilitating pain to be over.

It has been a whole week since I went to my first chiropractic visit. I have had adjustments made to my spine everyday for 6 days. Do I feel any better? That's not easy to answer, because right after the visit I feel "better" but the pain worsens as the day drags on. By 4:30 pm I'm am in tears again. I am not on pain meds other than over the counter naproxen . I have gotten pain pills from a friend because my doctor can't prescribe pain meds and won't refer me to another doctor. So Monday I will be visiting another doctor to help me manage the pain . Speaking of pain, it is in my personal opinion the equivalent of labor pains in my entire right leg. From hip to ankle , the muscles tighten, feels like a huge need gets rammed into my right buttock close to the tail bone, and from my thigh downward is a huge Charlie horse. These pains have taken up the majority of my time for 4 weeks. I am in pain more than I am not. This is why I am seeking some relief from pain whether it be pills a shot or whatever in to the point where I don't care if its bad for me I just want relief.
