I went to the chiropractor yesterday and it went okay. She's super busy and I had to wait for a while, and since it was my first appointment it took longer than normal. She told me that due to the ligaments loosening to prepare my body for childbirth, I'm having severe issues with my sacroiliac joints (which I knew because if I push on those joints the pain is immense) and I also have a pinched sciatic nerve, which is causing the pain in my butt that radiates down my right leg. Again, knew that, but I guess I just thought it would fix itself. My back is pretty misaligned because for months I have been walking to compensate for the pain I've been having. Just a few days ago I got out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror, and I could see that my right hip is slightly higher than my left and that my spine was crooked. So I will be seeing her often for adjustments and treatment. I'll see her every goddamned day if she makes the pain stop. The only thing that bugged me about her is that she lectured me about breastfeeding, but I realize that she's in a naturopathic, "crunchy" field so I humored her. Just fix my back and don't tell me what to do with my boobs, thank you very much.
