My husband is as stubborn as the day is long. He's always had a bad back and just pushes thru the pain, thinking that it's gonna hurt anyhow so why not do what you want? And what he likes to do is work HARD outside.
He started complaining earlier this week that his hip and thigh felt numb... classic nerve compression, I'm thinking. By yesterday he was hobbling around like a troll and went to bed at 7:30. The skin around his waist on the other side going around to his lower belly also hurts and is painful to touch... also a nerve thing!!
He won't consider an orthopedist cause he says all they'll want to do is back surgery and won't consider a chiropractor cause the stupid military doesn't acknowledge chiropractic and won't pay! I met a girl on Saturday (at a health fair of sorts) who was representing a chiropractor who does spinal decompression and acupuncture as well as chiropractic. I have a card for a free exam and WILL make and appt. and DRAG Babe to see him.
The bad part is that he has to work today, tomorrow, and Monday for the post office and as he's so new, he won't consider being sick. I'm afraid his leg, which he can't feel, will just give out on him... maybe then they'll MAKE him come home and he can get to the chiropractor sooner!
Prayers for him are so his back feels better. Prayers for me are so that I don't kill him before his back feels better!!
