Its kind of like Spring Training PC. By mid summer you will look back and laugh at those aches! Mwuahahaha!

I know when I pulled weeds for a few hours, I was in more pain than I ever was from riding a bike. Woke up some muscles I never knew I had.

I hear ya Van. It's been a pretty sedentary fall and winter. I've been hauling boulders from two properties over....and that alone was a bit of a workout. And although it seemed like the woodpecker that destroyed the retaining wall seemed to have little trouble.....tearing it out was tougher than I thought. (I should have waited another couple days and let him finish it)

Then that poor woodpecker would be all worn out! Poor lil feller!

Poor lil feller

Van · Apr 01 08 08:14

Good evening everyone.

Yes, I'd like to know how your ankle is doing as well, LM?

Has anyone ever visited a chiropractor without havnig an injury of some sort? I'll be seeing one next week because I heard that it's good to see one at least once a year.

Sportsdude · Apr 01 08 09:19

all the time. I usually get massages though.

purelife · Apr 01 08 09:23

I didn't know chiropractors give massages?

I have a bit of a negative response to that I'm afraid. I think the only people who say that it's good to see a chiropractor at least once a year are chiropractors. I had a really bad experience many years ago....a visit to the chiropractor put me on my back for 6 MONTHS.

Never NEVER again. EVER.

If you go purelife, please make sure he has reviewed ex-rays of your spine first ! Do NOT let him do a thing unless he has.

Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all, PC, but do you think you just went to the wrong Chiropractor? But what's the difference of a Doctor telling his patient to see him once a year vs a Chiropractor?

Sportsdude · Apr 01 08 09:47

yeah my chiro has a massage person.

Oh ! I didn't realize your doctor recommended it. That's almost unusual.

I don't know if it was the wrong chiropractor or not....I just know that I would never trust my spine to one ever again.....even if my doctor recommended it...which it think is rare. It was a weird experience. I had had really bad back problems since the birth of my first child....and somebody suggested a chiropractor. When he did the first 'manipulation', I was close to nirvana. I had back pain for so long, that I had forgotten what it felt like to be pain free. It felt GREAT ! But by the next morning, I couldn't move. I don't mean that it was uncomfortable to move....I couldn't move...period.

purelife · Apr 01 08 09:52

That's another person I need to see soon...a massage therapist but I don't want to see the doctor for just a note.

Y'know, I have this extended medical through my company and I think I should make use of it. lol

ok, here's a wee bit of an update from my "job." well, after having told my Supervisor that I applied for xyz internal position, she told the other supervisor and the mgr and then she told my coworkers who work "under" her. hmmm, uhm, I don't even have an interview and it's a big deal now?

And for some odd reason, I'm feeling great about it!

Lil Me · Apr 01 08 09:56

purelife- I go to the chiro quite a bit (and so do Heckyl and Jeckyl). Mr LM does not- he doesn't believe in it.
Who are you going to see? You can PM me. I've got a great chiro in Port Moody, and I also know of a chiro in your area (friend of a friend).
Totally offtopic, Nira Aurora's hubby Dr Gary Gill is a chiro in Delta.

Oops, sorry, that wasn't what I had meant. My doctor didn't recommend anything. I made that comment after you had said that all chrios tell people to see them once a year because they're doing their job. So, I was wondering how it would be the same when our Doctors keep telling us they need to see us once a year. Uhm, now I think I'm just confusing myself, come to think of it... er ...never mind.

[span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"]oh dear...I'm sorry to hear that. I've never been to one and this one that my guy sees is great, according to him. I defintiely don't want a sore back for months... I'll make sure he takes xrays before he cracks anything...[/span]
