My oh my have you grown, girl! Oh, and I think if the tongue thing didn’t have you disowned, nothing will. Just sayin’… For the record, I hear “man my sacroiliac joint is acting up today” all of the time. Gotta love the educated chiropractic patient! Thanks once again for the reminder to practice what we preach. Especially when we go put it in writing and splatter it over the net!
I really like this one Amy! I never really understood what “chronic” pain really meant. Of course, I know what the actual word means and I have watched some of my closest loved ones deal with sciatica nerve pain, knee pain as well as a persistent limited mobility from lymph node removal surgery due to stage 3 melanoma. I have been fortunate enough to only recently experience it with my on-ice concussion last February. I still get headaches periodically on and off the ice but after numerous trips and complaints to my doctor, it seems that it is just something that I have to deal with. I
I agree w/ Heather in the my oh my how you’ve matured comment. Good for you!
Heather and Seanna, wow, thank you! I have been working through this one – thinking I’ve been handling it better than I would have in the past – but its great to hear you both agree!
Kristina, I never understood chronic pain either! It wasn’t until just recently that I realized many people live with some level of pain every day! And I, like you had to come to grips with the fact that it can be something you just have to deal with – and like you said, find what works for you to make your way through it! Great point, by the way!
p.s H, I love that your clients now tell you their SI joing is bothering them!
Who cares about her maturity, let’s celebrate the peace and quiet while she suffers through this! WOOOOOHOOOOOO! Bwhahahaha!
Honestly, though…they are right! You are growing by leaps and bounds, girl. Injuries are par for the course but can be massively minimized by proper pre-hab, re-hab, etc. In the mean time, accept them and work through them and you’ll be A-OK.

Holy moly on the concussion, Kristina! WOW! You’re right, though. You may have the effects of that one for a while longer. Soft tissue injuries are the worst b/c they never really resolve themselves…they just fade away over time.:o)
