They have a little video you can watch while waiting and it talks about problems with acid reflux and the alignment of those parts of the body causing some of these problems. It makes so much sense but very few doctors ambrace this kind of medical recommendation and I can't help but feel it's because it would simply take away a lot of their patients from their practices. I'm appauled at all the hand-offs you were given from one doctor to the next. It certainly seems no one was doing their job. I have a sister that is a beautician and was in extreme pain with her right shoulder/arm area. The doctor said right away it's a rotator cuff problem and will likely need surgery. By chance she went for a massage to see if she could get some relief and it was at a chiropractor's office. Afterward the chiropractor came in to meet her and asked if she'd like to try an alignment. She couldn't believe how much better she felt afterwards and that pain in the shoulder/arm went away and no surgery was ever needed. I too felt chiropractors were a lot of hocus pocus and didn't believe they were of value until I needed one. I'm so glad I gave it a try and can't say enough about them! I'm so happy for you that you've found out what you needed and are in a better place for it now.Liz@ HomeandGardeningWithLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470612105590699955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-84671479915984484202015-05-17T20:28:54.237-05:002015-05-17T20:28:54.237-05:00I so agree with you about Chiropractors!!

So so...Thank you for sharing your amazing story!!! So sorry you had to endure a year of pain and dead ends......but thankfully you finally found the answer and are doing so well!!<br /><br />Now,amazingly enough, my son had similar problems, pain, and shortness of breath. He was 30 at the time. He went to a chiropractor for a neck injury, the dr. took xrays, etc. and found, get this......his diaphragm had been pushed back in the chest.........and get this......it was from always sleeping on his stomach !!! Who would have thought?? With repeated treatments it was moved back into place and he has been fine ever since....now being 51 years old!! And no longer sleeps on his tummy......<br /><br />Looking forward to your next installment......sweet violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217634500685029163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-53295571364237097372015-05-13T18:44:05.650-05:002015-05-13T18:44:05.650-05:00Bless your heart!

What an ordeal you had to go through and when all was said and done, it would have been a relatively simple procedure. You were finally in the right place at the right time. You really expect that the medical profession will be up front with you and will give you sound advice, but that isn't always the case. I'm so glad that you kept questioning until you got to the bottom of it, but so sorry that you had to go through all the surgeries and pain. I'm so glad you are feeling better and am looking forward to what is going on with you now..Happy Wednesday my dear friend..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-84214279742648249702015-05-12T18:16:51.582-05:002015-05-12T18:16:51.582-05:00Oh, Jane!

This is why I love blogs so much. There is so much to share out there. Sometimes we back out of sharing those personal things and yet they are just what someone needs to hear. I have actually been dealing with my mama being sick for almost six months. It took some convincing to get her to change doctors, but it has been the best thing we could have done. We now have a doctor that I feel will get to the bottom of things and yes I have felt the very things you mentioned with the greed or just in it for the money.<br />Thanks again for sharing.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282136848061387334.post-12011565196878816882015-05-11T17:58:14.207-05:002015-05-11T17:58:14.207-05:00I went through something similar after a car wreck...I went through something similar after a car wreck. Nobody could fix me and I was in terrible pain for weeks, months and then years. Eventually I did go to a chiropractor and then followed that up with massages. After a dozen doctors and lots of payments the chiropractor and massage therapist over more years and years, finally released the pain. You are right. It is depressing to be in pain and it also made me really mad that a lady running a red light was ok when I suffered so. But bottom line, you can't give up.

My 14 yr. old daughter slid in base and hurt herself playing softball. She could hardly walk and cried from pain. I took her to two doctors who said nothing is wrong. I said look my daughter is in pain, someone I knew suggested a chiropractor, immediately she was relieved. He said she had a pinched nerve and a few sessions later she was not complaining about the pain. So thankful for the chiropractors who do care, they really are doctors.
