Trying something new...

Well I did it. I swallowed my pride and went to a doctor yesterday. Not just any doctor, a spine specialist. Dr. Yaniv gave me some good one-on-one time and for the next three weeks I am going to try physical therapy. I will start on Tuesday. Dr. Yaniv thinks that it is discal (sp?), but because I don't have a lot of nerve pain, she doesn't think it is ruptured, just bulging. I am going to the chiropractor today to pick up my x-rays. I was feeling kind of guilty about just quitting my adjustments, but then I thought- hey, I don't need to feel bad that they didn't fix me. Doesn't mean I am a bad patient, and it doesn't mean they are bad doctors. Chiropractic adjustments just aren't going to fix this particular problem. I have to admit I am pretty excited to get physical therapy, it is going to be fun to be able to learn some real life clinical stuff!
