Back Brace Update
Yesterday was another appointment to have me and my lovely "S" all checked out in my brace to see how things are going. The past 5 months have been tough. Not that it's ever easy, but I have had an extra problem that only occurs typically twice a year happen 5 times in the last 5 months. It creates shooting pain up my neck and down my arm. It usually settles down after about 2 weeks, but hasn't much at all for 5 months. That made wearing my brace hard for more than a few hours at a time. Dr. Pivonka felt around the area and felt my rib and told me it was raised which caused my body to form a lump of muscle around the area trying to protect it. So he snapped that rib back into place *YEEOUCH* and adjusted my neck for me as well which put my top two vertebra back into place. It was good. He adjusted a few of my straps and has me hooking them in a slightly different position to take some of the pressure off of the side that is giving me troubles and changed up my movement I do to get into the brace a little as well. I will be going back in 3 months this time since it seems my body is changing a little faster. So there you have it, lots of reporting.... done.

I'm so sorry that you have all this trouble with your back! I hope the adjustments will help. And good for you for taking a trip away. I have always wanted to go to a bed and breakfast...someday :)
