Good morning Smorgville, have a great day if you feel like it, or not, your choice, I'm going for great personally.

Luis, that was right purdy writtin you did.

Amanda, passing out on concrete can fix a lot of creaks and miseries. I pinched a nerve in my back twenty years ago in an altercation with my horse (Arab, Quarter mixed). I went through PT, Chiropractors, massage therapy. It got better but nothing fixed it, my right arm would go numb several times a day and I couldn't turn my head beyond forty-five degrees to the right. After I scalded my right arm it got worse and I would lose all feeling in my right lower arm and hand quite often. Last year I passed out at church and fell to the pavement, twice. I have full motion back in my neck and my arm hasn't bothered me since. Just a thought 🤣

Kev,

The PT barely helped at all, was brutal and boring. The chiro helped a lot and the massage therapy kept it from getting worse again. I figure that when I was passed out my muscles were completely relaxed and it allowed things to realign that my muscles prevented the chiropractor from being able to completely fix. I'd go to a chiro again in a minute as he turned constant pain (before he worked on me I couldn't lift my right arm above shoulder level and couldn't turn my head to the right at all) into the occasional misery.
