So he basically cracked and popped my whole spine from my tailbone to my neck, even had me relax lying down and I thought he was doing some kind of massage to my head , and next thing I knew, it was a quick twist and my whole neck cracked and popped. Within a couple weeks is when the symptoms first started appearing. I would go to doctor and he would do the lil tests check for resistance and see if I show signs of a stroke, and then just say it is probably just a muscle issue or something and give me a steroid to take for a week. And when I would mention the chiropractor, they would look at me all apprehensive, and say Oh don't go to a chiropractor they will do more harm than good. So symptoms would kinda fade away, like barely there, but I would faintly feel em, but still enough mess with my mind, so just drown it out with alcohol. So since that chiropractor wringed my neck and back, they crack and pop with ease, and ache if I don't manually make them pop. I went back to that chiropractor and told him the issues and he was like Oh I didn't cause that, but let me re-wring your neck and I'll fix it. I declined cause I was scared he'd make it worse and or paralyze me. So in following years it would get so bad I would go to emergency rooms thinking I was having a stroke, only be told No, but they believe I'm having the feeling I'm having but they don't know why, and here's some pills to try. Then in early 00s that chiropractor was in the news for fraud and bunch other shit, I don't remember it all. I called an attorney and explained how I went to him and since then have this messed up neck and spine and palsy type feeling in my face. Attorney was like, unless I'm paralysed, ain't zhit they could do. So fast forward years later of just crunching popping and cracking, plus the anxiety and stress from the worrying, and numerous pills to try, and various physical therapy tries.. The last physical therapy try, last Aug, they would actually do some sort chiropractor type stuff. After all the goofy stretching and playing with rubber balls and bands, they would have me lie on side of table, cross arms like hugging myself, roll me onto my back, have me bend knees and keep feet flat on table, and raise my hips off table, then he would thrust his weight of body down on my crossed arms, and it would make my upper spine, in between shoulder blades, crack and pop, and afterwards he would ask if that relieved anything , and I'd say No, and he'd looked all disappointed, as if i was going to be like, YEH, it's a miracle, it's all gone And I'm all better now. Which I would like to happen, but hasn't been the case. So now with scans proving degenerative discs and two bulging discs in top spine right below neck. I'm curious as to how long these discs have been out of whack, was it the one and only chiropractor I visited years ago, or did the physical therapy guy do it. OR a combination of both. All I know is I want my face tongue and neck to feel normal. Zhit for all I know I could go to another chiropractor and he do some adjustment and BAM, I'm all better. But I'm also worried he could make it worse, like paralyze me.
