**sigh** Well, I wish I were posting that all of my back problems were solved after 3 months of decompression, but they're not. I had a treatment yesterday, and the treatment itself hurt quite a bit, but that didn't concern me as they do, from time to time, get rather uncomfortable. Nothing that someone who has been living with chronic back pain can't deal with - but ranging from moderate to severe discomfort nonetheless. Anyway, after getting off of the DRX9000, I then did some Spine Force work, and went on about my merry way to work and so forth. I noticed throughout the day that I was starting to feel twinges of pain and had some pretty severe pain in my upper back that hadn't been there before. Now I'm not blaming the treatment for that part of it - that part could be that I have recently started playing video games again pretty heavily, so I dont' think the pain in my upper shoulder was because of the treatment. However - about the time I was ready to go to bed (which I'm very grateful for the timing here) I felt something change very quickly - like when you throw out a disk or something, and I was in heavy pain - like an 8 level pain. So I had the husband grab my ice-pack out of the fridge, and went to bed and lay very, very still on that ice pack until I fell asleep. I got up this morning and it was better, but still hurting. I rode the bus to work with it still hurting. And, as I write this post, I am sitting on an ice pack here at work in hopes that it will help cool-down these disks before I have to slog to the bus and ride back home.
I'm sure that Dr. Meadows will do something about it tomorrow. He's a pretty good guy and has always been very responsive to changes in pain. Maybe we did a little too much spine force. Who knows. But I thought I'd just chronicle that there has been no Miracle Max cure thus far.
