Re: Could this be related to thyroid

Get yourself to a chiropractor - after so long you probably have a few

misalignments in your spine/shoulders etc.

Even the tiniest misalignment can cause massive pain - I have a slight on in two

vertebrae in my lower back, almost indetectable but it puts everything out of

place enough that the muscles attached to those vertebrae are under pressure,

that causes them to go into spasm if I do too much physical work, and that in

turn pulls on my bum muscles, which in turn pull on my right hamstrings.

So from one teeny wonkiness in two vertbrae, I can be in absolute agony and

unable to move from the mid-back right down to my knee at times, and with pain

going right down to my toes on very bad days. And because I'm compensating for

the pain, I can start to have problems in my upper back and neck too - one tiny

problem causes so much trouble because it puts the whole system out of whack.

Bit like a duff thyroid, actually!

Only thing that's ever worked for long is a chiropractor - BUT I would only

recommend a McTimoney chiro. I've used the normal ones - cost me just shy of

£30 a session and about 30 sessions to do any lasting good when I first had

crippling pain.

So last time I saw a McTimoney chiro (I know of them as I have one for my dogs)

- I've seen her twice, cost me £70 total and she's done more good than the

regular one ever did!

Have a look here:

The main difference is massage - a McTim will give you a thorough deep massage

first, then make very gentle adjustments - no popping of bones, just little

nudges to get everything back in place. Because your muscles are relaxed from

the massage, minimal pressure is needed to put things back, and the adjustments

also hold a lot better again because the muscles are relaxed - totally different

to the normal chiro approach of much popping and crunching and force.

Hi

Thank you very much for all the info I have contacted them to see if they can

recommend anyone as I am in the Manchester area.

Thanks again
