My pain hasn't been too bad as of lately because I haven't been doing much, but I find my pain would get really bad after doing any sort of exercise. Because everyones efforts turned towards my head and not the rest of my body, I am scared that when I do start getting back into physical activity this pain will all be back because it was never fixed in the first place. Sure is frustrating how the problems never seems to end!
I don't really have much of an update on my progress! Things have kind of slowed down as of right now because I don't think anyone really knows what direction to go in. I am hoping by next week I am able to schedule an appointment with this specialist, and possibly even try some biking too! Let me know how your appointment goes!

Kelly-
Yes- our situations do sound very similar! After meeting with the cranial osteopath today, he showed me that the xray did not reveal any pelvic tilt. However, my third and fourth ribs are still out of place, and are poking into my trapeciaz. The skewed ribs seem to be the main culprit of all my neck and back pain according to this doctor. He's working with me to try and get things back in place. He also found that the bones in my head were completely locked, which he refers to as a "hard head", when they should have a natural movement to them.
I've officially made an appointment to go to Buffalo when finals are over. I am very excited, because they are going to tailor an exercise program specifically to me after some exercise testing. Also, I will only need to report to Buffalo once and can do the program entirely from home. I'm hopeful, and will post on my progress with the program.
