Comfortable.
My knee slipped a little further into my earhole, my hand gripped my arm more firmly, he leaned a little harder and - CrrrAACkK! Some small portion of my back clicked and clunked and cracked it's way back into position. My breath left my body in a huge whooshing gasp.
"Right," he said, leaning back, and swinging the towel up across his shoulder. "That wasn't quite as satisfying as I'd hoped. Come back on Friday and we'll try again."
True story.
I'm still limping. But not as badly.
Friday's the day.

I think we have the same back.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds seriously intense! I'm sorry your back is giving you grief. :(
ReplyDeleteGeez, I need to get me some of that!! x
ReplyDeleteThis whole back cracking stuff scares the beejeebies out of me. I've never had stuff like that done. #chicken
ReplyDeleteHope it's over red rover on Friday and you're back to normal programming. :) xox
Oooooft :( Hey at least it's a little better. x
ReplyDeleteOuch! It's scary stuff, isn't it? Had a similar experience after our move last year... but blessed relief afterwards. Friday. x
ReplyDeleteHoly moses! That sounds fascinating and excruciating all in the one instance. You poor thing. I do hope he fixes it once and for all on Friday. Until then, heat packs maybe!? xo
ReplyDeleteAaagggh.
ReplyDeleteThe stuff of my nightmares.
Had my neck cracked years ago and the sound/pain still haunts me.
good luck for Friday.
:-) x
I used to work for a chiropractor for 6 years so I get this. But I feel the CA (chiropractic assistant) in me should advise against the use of the 'cracking' terminology. As it scares the crap out of people LOL!
ReplyDeleteI see my chiro fortnightly, couldn't do without it not just for my back but health in general. I'm sure your Osteo will get you back to your normal self in no time. Hugs x
I see my chiro every fortnight too. She is all kinds of awesome. Definitely a high position though!
DeleteHigh *trust* even ...
DeleteDoes this mean camping is off the list of 'things we do to get out of the fibro'? Feel better soon. x
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I love me a good back cracking. You will be swinging from the chandeliers again in no time :)
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing an osteo for12yrs...better than a physio or a chiro in my book:) bring on the cracking I say!
ReplyDeleteEven the word 'osteopath' sounds painful. Hope Friday does the trick!
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I love my osteopath. She's not a 'cracker' but an amazingly intuitive 'fixer'. Hope Friday meets your expectations.
ReplyDeleteI was in a similar position at lunchtime – but I was getting a Brazilian.
ReplyDeleteWow....camping is not your friend! I hate going to the osteo, just the sound of your own bones cracking some how gets into your ears and never comes out......hoping friday is more 'satisfying'!!
ReplyDeleteoh ouch!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that my back pain is more easily fixed by truckloads of painkillers and resting flat on my back with pillows under my knees to raise the legs to a 90* angle, if you can picture that, I'm bent like half a swastika. No osteopath is getting his hands on me!
Osteo's. I'm a fan! Good luck on Friday, they are much better than chiro's!
ReplyDeleteHope your back feels better soon Sciatica is a b--ch
ReplyDeleteSo... Are you better now??? Just wondering...
