My back issues
I just have to post about something that is not that exciting but has really been a big part of my life lately. Since January of 2008 during my dietetic internship, I have had major upper back problems between my shoulder blades. That area has just been so tight and my ribs were "popping" out of place frequently which does not feel too well. I have gone to chiropractors in Pocatello, Burley, and Twin Falls throughout this time period and have gotten some relief but the problem keeps coming back. What really hurts is to write or type or do anything with my arms lifting in front of me (like laundry, dishes, etc.) So finally about 6-7 weeks ago after seeing the chiropractor in Twin Falls for several weeks with no significant improvement, he referred me to a physical therapist. I have been seeing him after work the last 6 weeks and I think I am slowly getting better! It is taking so much longer than we had all anticipated and hoped, but I am getting stronger and I have tons of exercises to do at home involving a foam roller, rolled up towel, a chair, and "thera-bands." In fact I had better do my exercises right now! I am going to keep going at least once a week and hopefully this problem will be fixed once and for all!
