4 Days and Counting...

I've been going to Bastyr (a naturopathic university/clinic) for three weeks now. I've had no pain in my pelvis for about four days!! I've never felt like a team of doctors listened to me so well. I have lots of homework -- epsom salt baths, hydrotherapy (hot/cold), stretching, drinking tons of water. Then I go in once a week for adjustments (I saw a chiropractor for three months twice a week and he couldn't help at all...I feel like the ND knows exactly what he's doing), muscle energy stretches and massage. All in all, I feel really good!
Now if I can just get past the fear of exercising -- I don't even know how to begin. It's a little overwhelming for me! Anyone want to go to water aerobics with me? :)

  1. I'm so glad you are feeling good! I'm sorry I couldn't watch Jacob. Aaron has been working nights and I have been teaching preschool. I should be able to help next time!

  6. I had no idea you lived with pain like that?! I am so sorry but happy that you've finally found something that seems to be helping. Good luck with the exercising! I'm a fan of yoga myself (it helps with my back) but something in water sounds like the best thing.
