First, I'll start with the hip stuff. Since I went to the chiro last Thursday, not a whole lot has changed. I was still in pain over the weekend and my hip had become dislocated again. The pain never really did go away, but I blocked it out as much as I could. I laid around all weekend on the couch with my ice pack. Today, I went to work and that was the most movement I'd done since Thurs. I went to the chiro today after school. Of course he said it was out. It took longer to put back; he pushed and shoved on me every which way. He shocked my muscles again. However, now we have issues. He is perplexed; leave it to me to leave the chiro confused. Once he put my hip back in, my leg should be straight. It's not, my hip is in but my leg is crooked. He knee hurts and had but I attributed it to the hip thing. He asked if I'd ever had any knee problems and I said no. He's not sure what's wrong or going on. My leg should be straight and it's not. Everyone has it a little off, but mine is way off. I go back Thursday and may have to go for a while until my body will accept my hip in the right place. So, I'm not sure what to do. He thinks I injured my knee at some pt. I very well could have in the truck accident and like I said attributed all the pain to my hip. Sallie (my boss) thinks I need to go get a 2nd opinion as in an orthopedic dr. She doesn't believe in chiro's. Another person says to go back to my reg. dr. (who told me I was fine). I don't know what to do. The chiro is going to cost my a pretty penny ($30 a visit) and Thurs. will make $90 in a week. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears (well eyes in this case). It sucks cause Tony's gone and my parents are gone so I'm having to function on my own in severe pain. I don't want to have to be in pain forever. I don't know if it's all my hip or if my knee or what; not sure if I do need to go somewhere else to go deeper into this.
As far as Tony being gone, we received a phone call Sat. night that his uncle was found in his driveway. He had a massive h. attack and passed away. Tony left for FL on Sunday and will be back home on Thurs. I was really bummed I couldn't go as I felt I needed to be there for Tony (he's a rough few months with deaths in the family). I couldn't get off work for 1 and with my hip and an airport not a good combo. However, he's done well he found a flower girl for our wedding. So that's a plus! He get to see his family some of which it's been a while.
With all that being said, I need to go back to my assumed position on the couch with my ice. Tomorrow will be just as bad as Friday! UGH!!! Like I said any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated!!!
