Finally went to the back Doc and let him "Crack " me . It is scary at first but after a few times i just feel SO much better !!

Just a thought !

I've called them everything over the years- bone cruchers, quacks, etc.

I was up to a small bottle of advil a week and I couldn't sleep at night.

I had been to M.D.'s over the years- it was always " you probably pulled a muscle. You should think about taking it easy for a while."

On a refferal from a friend, I am going to a chiropractor. Between what he is doing to me and some other changes I've made, I feel SO much better.

If your on the fence about chiropractors, ask around for a referral and give it a shot. I wish I had done it 10 yrs ago.

You got that right!
Ibuprofen, a good colpac on the back and an chiropractic adjustment will get you walking upright faster than anything else.

After that an adjustment once a month will keep you upright!

I'll give this 11 X 14 Colpac high marks. http://www.egeneralmedical.com/mil-cht100std.html

As far as Chiropractors, I use one that uses the Gonstead System and it works great for me. http://www.gonstead.com/members/find_doctor.php

Almost forgot we put an inversion table at the shop and the guys love it, ya strap your feet in and lean back, sounds strange but believe me it aligns your vertebraes/ back bones for you hillbillies, and you can touch your toes for a week with no pain, seriously try it....mike

I've got an LS-5 that's been bugging me all day long. Fell asleep in a bad position with one leg hanging over the bed.

Time is the only thing that's going to make it go away.

Sometimes if I fall asleep on my back with my right arm hanging off the bed, when I wake up I can barely move my arm.If that was my leg Im thinkin the pain would be multiplied x2 wheew!!! I got sent under a house yrs ago to check on an odor, found a dude with coat and a blanket taking his LAST nap beside an old chimney ,I guess it was warm when he dozed off.We did call the police, and lost the rest of the day but boss said we did the right thing.Cop wanted me to crawl back under and show him where he was, I said follow your nose like I did!!

My back is in fair shape i guess. It bothers me sometimes though. Its a wonder I have one left though. When I was an early teen I ran across a highway to avoid getting caught pilfering in a golf course dump and did not look before crossing the 4 lane. Then wham. next thing I was looking at the underside of a trailer. The wheel was on my chest and instead of running me over it drug me under the tire for 150 feet. When the driver stopped I got up and wanted to run home because I was afraid of what mamma would do. I was detained until the police arrived and thats when I found out my spine was exposed. The road burned off so much skin the spine was visible. Oh well, thats the nice thing about youth. We recover so quick from things like that.

Still to this day I have a silver dollar sized scar at the base of my spine along with scars all up and down my back, plus my ribs on my right side are concaved to the point you can see it clearly when I dont have a shirt on.
