Snap, crackle and pop

Today I went to see a chiropractor for the first time ever. It was kind of fun, but also a bit painful when he cracked my spine. I've had x rays taken to find out what is causing me to have so many pains in my neck, but they showed nothing out of the ordinary (its becoming depressing at how little results I get from medical examinations). After a few minutes of moving my arms through their orbits, and being prodded and pawed, I was finally led to a device which looked like a hi tech torture instrument and asked to lie down. The chiropractor then did the famous neck cracking thing, telling me I might hear a noise...

CRACK!

...I got such a shock that I started to laugh (moif standard nervous reaction) but when he proceded to crack my spine, I was about ready to start crying. The rest of the day has been unusual, for the pain in my neck is gone, but now my spine hurts. *sigh*
The pain in my arm pit continues unabated. The Chiropractor had nothing to say about that though he did press the painful spot for almost a minute to see if it would go away. The result was ambiguous at best and the process was exceedingly painful.


Meanwhile, back home, Freja decided to investigate a tube of mascara and is now in the bath being scrubbed by her mother.

And in other news... Malene just went into labour...

Did you get the results for the cancer test(s)?

Everything was normal. My doctor is telling me its most probably something akin to tennis elbow with the muscles over compensating and causing tensions in the surrounding area.

I go back for more tests in two weeks time just in case.

Tennis elbow?? from what, playing Eve maybe? I had a good laugh over Freja. 8-)

Probably yes. Repetative strain from always sitting in the same position... or something like that. I don't know I'm just really tired of it. Its been constant for 3 fucking months. I only just got rid ff the 18 month long pain in my testicle and now this.

*sigh*
