~advice from F-I-L who is a retired chiropractor

~MRI results don't look great

~physical therapy and exercises

~new numbing and tingling in left arm

~advice from F-I-L=you need traction

~physical therapist requests neck x-rays

~physical therapist refers me to spine therapist

~acupuncurist=you need traction and special massage

~I tell F-I-L and acupuncturist no traction or massage until spine therapist appointment because I think she will be god-like

~appointment with spine therapist who says to me

"I have no idea why you are here"

and

"I guess we could do some traction since that's what others are telling you"

~phone call with spine therapist's supervisor registering a HUGE complaint

{I hope spine therapist gets fired for being a dumb ass}

~acupuncture with tui na massage

~finally some relief

~in-home traction unit picked up

~john laughs at me while I put straps on my face, saying something about silence of the lambs

~hang for 12 minutes

~INSTANT RELIEF~

~~~~~

the pain relief was short lived

but for 12 minutes I felt great

and

I'll be doing this daily if you want to stop by and laugh at me in person

LISTEN

to your father in law and acupuncturist
