Tenderloins ain't so tender anymore!
Finally took a sick day and visited a local back-cracker...........boy, you Chiropractors sure are touchy about being called bonafide Doctors! I accept your profession.......it's real medical treatment just like straightening the frame on a car is real mechanical work. It's the insurance companies that are mucking up the waters to recovery for most people............it was cheaper out of pocket than dealing with United Health Care (besides, with a grand for a deductible.........it's all going to be out of pocket anyway).
So as he's explaining the legitimacy of Chiropractic Medicine..........I'm thinking "let's get on with this and find the problem!"
Turns out the psoas muscles http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/How%20the%20Psoas%20Muscle%20Causes%20Back%20and%20Hip%20Pain.html, and http://www.pediatric-orthopedics.com/Treatments/Hips/Psoas/psoas.html, have readjusted themselves because of flat feet and driving all day. They were so tight they showed up on the x-ray! The tightness is causing nerve irritation across the tailbone area, and pulling my hip back so my spine looks sway-backed at the bottom.
So arch-supporting insoles, stretching excercises, inverted hanging, and no happy pills.......and the leg tingling will subside as the muscles get reconditioned..........at least it wasn't a disc problem!

Next time use some lube or send flowers...........now I'M irritated........
Spray them with insecticide and they gather in a cloud that resembles a middle finger.
This will also cure bad breath, dandruff, and warts.
Digging on a psoas is the story of my day, glad it was not a hot disc.

What do you do when you think no one is watching?
Say what you will...............it beats cutting...........I'm just happy to find out what was wrong to begin with.............now we can work on fixing it.

The fallen arches and declining stomach muscles play hell with the discs.
I went flat-footed in my early forties, also about the time my belly started to soften up a little, and my low back has gotten worse ever since, although it's still better than most folks my age who have worked for a living.
The bad thing is that your shoe size increases as your feet get flatter and flatter. Mine went from 10-1/2 at age 40 to 13 now, at age 57. I have a great pair of Tony Lama boots that I loved, which I can no longer get into.
I am glad you can get fixed that way. Clean had a synovial cist at L4-L5 and the bone breaker still tried to fix it, when there was no way he could. It had to go away on it's own or a neurosurgeon had to remove it. The neuro quack ended up fixing it. And a good surgeon he was.

I'm happy everything worked out for Mrs. Clean.
Strangely...........I have no aversions to medical procedures.............I'm of a mind of............"you're the body mechanic.........do your stuff or suffer the consequences if you goof it up."
