I try not to complain much. Complaining out loud often alienates people. Complaining to yourself is like mumbling. No one really hears you and they don't understand. The only one who likes to hear complaining, I am convinced, is my wonderful chiropractor, Dr. Paul Molloy. www.chiconcord.com
After all the corticosteroid shots I got in my lower back, and then the needles to 'burn the nerves' off, the procedures may have helped for a few weeks, but the pain in my back, is back!! This is most distressing. I've tried to think positive, as science has proven that having a positive outlook can aid in having positive health, but my increased discomfort has decreased my outlook.
Dr. Paul suggested I try a few alternative therapies. I am so hoping massage therapy and hot tub therapy will be of great value. My back and hips and top of my femur bones are killing me. Several years ago I let a massage therapist student give me a free massage, but I didn't feel any benefit from it. I was left feeling unaffected. But I will go see the professional that Dr. Paul personally sees, and see if I can get some comfort.
Also, hubby and I will share a hot tub therapy once a week ($6.00 each for 1/2 hour). Not only will we love the hot water sinking into our weary bones and hurt muscles, we can cuddle, too. We have often discussed that our next big purchase will be a hot tub. The older we get the more we are convinced we want one for the pure luxury of soaking in the heated water and relaxing mind, body, and soul. This water therapy will either convince us we do in fact need one, or that we don't. I am open to letting the therapy decide for us.
Sorry to complain so much! Do you have aches and pains, or mental anguish, and wish to use this post to complain?
If so, please do!!!
