what were u told to do for this? If anything
Best wishes
Hello, Firstly thank you for your reply, in the beginning I had extensive Chiropractic treatment, sometimes twice a day, the result being very temporary, until he said he was unable to help me anymore, I find stretching, reaching, sneezing, coughing twisting, sets it off or even just sitting. I sustained this injury 21yrs ago lifting a patient, I was an aged care nurse. You were told right, there is no test that show this & seems we just have too learn to live with it but I have seen where some people have also recovered.
Best wishes to you also I hope you recover.
