So let me fill you in on my super fun weekend. OR as Willy Wonka says, (in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) "strike that, reverse it".
It started on Saturday on the way to Walmart. I started feeling this pain in my neck. No, it wasn't Ryan, or Austin, a real, painful pain. I ignored it because at that point I could. Well after a long shower I decided to go up to bed a read a little before I went to sleep. But no matter how I tried to lay, I couldn't get comfortable. My neck was KILLING a burning throbbing pain, so bad it was actually radiating into my jaw and ear . I was literally up ALL night. The only thing I could take for the pain, is Tylenol (being 19 weeks pregnant) and as you all know, it doesn't work worth crap.
So at 3 AM I remembered that I had some Loritab in the medicine cabinet, but didn't know if I could take it. So there I was at 3 AM on the computer looking up what class loritab was under (A, B, C) It is a "C" which means it could cause birth defects. So I didn't take it. Instead I dug though the towel closet and found the heating pad. I then, because I couldn't lay down on either side, propped the pillows up all around me and slept for the next 2 hours sitting up.
I don't know why, but every time anything like this happens, it is on a Sunday, when the MD offices are closed. I called the on call doctor, who happened to be my primary care doctor (not anymore after this though) and all he told me was that it could be spinal meningitas and I should go to the ER. Umm, yah right.
We decided to try out IHC's InstaCare. All I can say is wow. The doctor asked me if I had ever been to a Chiropractor, I told him no. You see I use to work for a Insurance company and in general Chrio work is scoffed at. They think it is phony, so I thought it was phony. Well he "showed me" what it would feel like IF he were to crack my neck and then Wham! he did it. All i can say is INSTANT relief. I guess my neck was way out of line. It took two more big pop's before he had it aligned, then he massaged it. Oh my, I can tell you, he made me a believer.

awesome...my husband convinced me 2 weeks ago to go to a chiropractor for the first time cause i'm always hunched over, taking care of babies, and my back was killing me. it still was disconnected feeling from the pregnancy too. after just the first time at the chiro, it felt 100% better. i was amazed. hope you're feeling ok...pregnancy can really suck with all the random things that can go wrong
Chiropractors have helped me a ton. I had been sick a few weeks ago and I decided to go to one to help with the healing. That made all the difference in the world. Especially in pregnancy when everything gets out of whack, it is a good thing to have a good adjustment. I know a good one if you need one. I like him because he is not one of these that keeps making you come back a bunch a times. Only as you need it. I'm glad your feeling better
