    Good luck with it Snap. I can attest that they are related - after a bike crash last year, 1 PT, 2 ortho surgeons and 1 cortizone injection later I was still hurting. I went to my chiro and he figured it out in about 10 minutes

    Guess who I'll start with next time???

    I understand you position Dar. But you just got stuck with a sub-par PT. A decent PT would've figured it out.

    As for you Snap - don't even think about going to a chiro!!! A cervical manipulation could cause serious damage in your case.

    No worries! I do see a chiro regularly, she is also an awesome massage therapist. I'll let her know what's going on, we'll avoid any cervical manipulation. Probably will avoid any manipulation for now, just stick with massage. Although she does wonders for my wrists when they feel all jammed up.

    Are there different types of chiropractors? Mine doesn't use one of those strange tables that move, she either uses a regular massage table, or a lower table that is long and flat. She's also not a "bone cracker", she's super gentle, I've never felt hurt after seeing her. (I saw a bone cracker once, never went back ) Besides....she's a fellow LemonDrop aficionado!

    Well OK then. As long as there is no bone cracking going...... (wahine taps her foot like a overbearing mother). Just don't let me catch you doing any of that snap, crackle and pop stuff.

    They do the COOLEST 3-D imaging with the CT scan. At least they did with my elbow scan. Maybe you have that to look forward to?

    My fingers are crossed that they figure out what's up.

    Hi ya Snap

    I have not been on here a while, so when I read your recent thread I was really shocked and upset.

    All the best with the scans etc that you will have to endure.

    I guess you will have to just become a little bit more sedate for a while, just relaxing with a nice large glass of wine more often.

    Take it easy.

    Holy cow, snap!

    I'm just now seeing this, but speedy healing vibes coming your way. I hope that whatever they find and fix also helps your arms/wrists!
