Well I’ve managed to keep vertical for the last few months but my lower back pain finally caught up with me. I am once again stuck in the living room on my belly working from my laptop now and just hate it. I can’t even tie my own shoes anymore. I am slowly losing faith in the whole chiropractic practice as I don’t feel like they’re actually doing anything to improve my back other than take my money and give me a great deep tissue massage. Now I know that the history of chiropractics is fairly shoddy and even the modern practice is still a questionable thing, I have had hope that there’s at least some they can do for me. Well now it looks like I’m going to have to see the real MD’s and get this looked at more closely. I’m terribly worried about it too. I know that any more “looking” into this problem means more missed work but I just am being backed into a corner now. I either stay like this forever or finally get some real help. I’m also afraid it may mean surgery (even MORE time off work we can’t afford). I blew our savings this year with these problems in the first place and now we don’t have anything to work with -no savings and not credit to pull from. Maybe we can look into a home equity line of credit to get us through this but I’m just worried about getting in even deeper debt as a result. Alas, we do only what we can with what we have… I’m just really worried…
