Life has been a little on the crazy side in my neck of the woods.. I sneezed Sunday night and managed to injure myself.. It didn't hurt too badly Monday, just a little catch in my neck like I had slept on it funny.. It hurt more as the day wore on it began to hurt much worse and travel from my neck to behind my left shoulder blade and down my left arm.. I went home and had Piper roll up my back (sounds odd, but the kid has a way of rolling from my shoulders to hips and it always pops what needs to be popped) Anyway, she put her hands on my left shoulder blade as I was lying on the floor and I felt a pop and extreme pain. I couldn't breathe, move or feel my left arm at all.. I cried out and shook.. It was awful.. I had to call out of work the next day and see a chiropractor. Apparently I have a bulging disk in my C5-C6, which was caused by... Sneezing! When Piper touched me, it allowed the bulge all of the way out... Poor girl thought that she hurt me..
So I have had one adjustment on Tuesday, Primary care doctor gave me a shot of a steroid and muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory felt a little better with the muscle relaxer (read: I passed out!) Wednesday was a little better but still couldn't stand to be at work and noticed that I can't cross my left leg over my right.. it hurts. I have another adjustment this afternoon. I hope all of this is over soon.. I am not a huge fan of feeling loopy or dingy and the muscle relaxers make me feel just like that.. And for anyone who knows me, I talk.. A LOT.. and with the muscle relaxers, I talk out of my head.. McKenna had to tell me to be quiet.. It was funny..
I never gave much thought to the importance of my spine before there was something wrong with it.. Be kind to your body..
More coming.. I have a lot on my brain today and I have to keep my thoughts together in seperate posts..
