Hip update!

Since the field trip incident from jumping off the wagon my hip has hurt worse than it had before. Really, it never had stopped hurting (it's been 4 months since the truck accident). A co-worker insisted I go see a Chiropractor. I made an appt. with the local guy in Seneca and went yesterday. His response was "Oh My... " I said what do you mean, he said that's all I can say without saying something not nice. Apparently, my hip was dislocated and had been for 4 months. YIKES!! No wonder it was still hurting. Dr.'s only look for breaks, cracks, etc.. So they didn't catch that on the x-ray. 4-months later it still shouldn't be hurting from the bruise. So he hooked me up to a machine that shocks the muscles. He told me tell him when the intensity got too much. He cranked it all the way up and I still said nothing. He told me most people would've told him to stop a long time ago and it was up as high as it would go. It felt like I was getting a whole bunch of little tattoos. He left that on for about 10 min. Then it came time to put my hip in it's place. Nothing seemed to work it was that bad. I had to keep rolling over and finally after 4-5 times it went. Boy was it loud but felt better. However, he said tomorrow (today) I would be in so much pain like I'd been hit by a truck again. Boy was he ever right. He said to stay off it, lay down, and keep ice on it. He said I would need to go back next week and have it done again. Since it'd been out for 4 months my body isn't used to be in it's right place so my body would pop it out again. Oh geez!!!! Last night I laid on the couch with ice. I could feel it hurting. Today, I woke up in the worst pain I'd ever felt (worse than my surgery). I didn't want to go to work and Tony didn't want me to either. It was picture day so I felt I needed to go. It took forever to get ready. Needless to say I didn't last all day as I'm home typing this. I lasted as long as I could. Now it's time for the ice, couch, and tv. Tony was so nice and made dinner last night; we'll see how 2 nite goes. I'm glad I went to the chiro and found out what was wrong; honestly I probably wouldn't have done anything about it otherwise. The dr's just said it was still healing.. BS!!! Anyway, I learned my lesson! Granted I learned it the hard/painful way!!! Dislocated hips hurt! The chiro said that I was the worst he'd seen and was very surprised that something else hadn't happened because of this. No kidding! That was best $30 I've ever spent! I just hope the pain goes away! For now, adios! Glad we're staying home this weekend!
