Default Chiropractor

My Chiropractor believes I have been misdiagnosed from the start (he is treating me for pinched nerve in neck). I actually told my neuro doc about it, and he is ordering mri for my neck. Will let you all know.

I went to a chiro to take xrays of my hand (I had 'trigger finger'-but thought it might have been a fracture).
He was a 'fast-talker' and said he could 'cure' my PN
& said it was my back.
When he wanted to schedule me for 3 treatments a week for 10 weeks
for 'only' $60 a treatment (no ins coverage) and a 10% discount if I paid it all up-front, I asked to see the x-rays he took.
The films were so fuzzy, I couldn't see anything
(I've been able to read films before, my wife's an RN)
It could've been films of my beagle.
I made for the door - fast!

Hi Bob, Just curious as to what you are doing for your trigger finger.

I jammed my thumb and I have a clicking in the joint. It's better now but a slow process and hopefully it will get better and better. I wear a splint type deal at night so that I don't jam it again.

I also have some tendinitis going on but that is also much better. Just not using the thumb, etc. very much either. 20 years ago or so I had tendinitis. I don't believe it ever gets back to 100% although not bad.

Hope your finger is better.

This was over 5 yrs ago, but
I just splinted it with an aluminum drugstore splint-
and it gradually went away, in time.

Default Chiro

I'm having much better relief from my chiro than my neuro. Use those supplements though!
