Oct. 2nd, 2012 08:42 amThis past weekend was spent with my head throbbing for most of it. Saturday was spent on the couch listening to Kev's RPG game while I spooled up DMC threads for my upcoming fractal cross stitch project, but I felt pretty miserable and not wanting to move much during those hours. Sunday was a bit better, but I still took off from work for the first half of yesterday, and I was having trouble concentrating through the pain for the second half of the day.
I've had one friend deal with a disc problem in her back over the course of this past year, another acquaintance dealing with a herniated disc in her neck, and both of my parents had disc surgeries when they were about my age. Kevin and I compare notes on our pains on a pretty regular basis. I was looking at pictures of myself from class, and I was noticeably hunched over when I thought I was standing straight. I know I'm getting to the point that I can't keep ignoring my pain. I opted to leave work an hour early and pay a visit to the chiropractor. To my credit, I did decide to see him Saturday, but I was about 1 hour too late when I finally called to see what his hours were.
( I had my x-rays redone; it's been a few years, so I was due. )
I told Doc about the pain I had been having all weekend. The very first, and loudest crack that he did while adjusting my neck was right smack dab in the middle of where that pain was located on the right side just behind my jaw joint. The area is tender today, but the head throbbing is gone, so I'm grateful.
