Back Update...

First I want to thank everyone who emailed me or posted comments and offered help if I need it. Just so you know I will be calling all of you when it's time for us to move. :)

Update...


I am feeling sooooo much better! I made a little call to the back popper and they popped that vertebra back into place and it feels great! Well maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but it does feel a lot better. I am VERY leery of chiropractors but this time they did good! So I went twice the first week, twice this week and if all goes well I'll go only once next week. I am also doing physical therapy and now my own custom workout to keep everything in place. Oh and my nice back popper said massage therapy would be good too. It will help to keep the muscles from tightening up and pulling my vertebra out of alignment. So Tarah - I need to get on your calendar - doctor's orders!


On a side note to all of this. When I went in today the back popper had received some x-rays that were taken of my back in November when I was having a lot of weird leg pain and numbness. My doctor at the normal family doctor's office told me my x-rays came back clean. So I was sent for an MRI. That came back clean but the bad leg pain and numbness was still happening so they wanted me to go see a neurologist. We were heading into the holidays so I put it off and discovered that with working out the pain was getting less and less. So basically I healed myself - well a temporary fix. :)


Well it turns out that in the original x-ray report the radiologist stated I had spondylolisthesis. This was never mentioned to me. If I would have know this then that would have been the answer to my leg pain. So in my eyes someone dropped the ball here. Even if they didn't think that was the cause I should have been told that I have a break/ slip in my L5 vertebra. I'm pretty mad that I was told that my "x-ray came back clean". Anyone out there a Personal Injury Lawyer?? Anyone have any recommendations on a good doctor?
