[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 506500, member: 3419"] Oh, Jo, you poor thing. Sorry I'm so late to see this but I see you've moved on with-your decision. I was going to say get your back in shape first and then focus on the knee, because you really can't do anything with-your back like that. I'm glad that you like and trust your chiro and that she is going a good job. Ice, ice, ice! I can't say it enough. I got to bed with-an ice pack more often than not. Have you asked your chiro anything about the knee? The only thing I would caution you about is not to overdo the PT with-your knee ... a good PT will push you but not past your limits. You don't want to make it worse. Some chiros do all body parts, some don't. I have no idea what your chiro's training consists of so I can't help you there. by the way, typically, just because it's a somewhat competitive issue, the chiro will say do chiro and the PT will say PT, because some of the things they do are similar. So don't expect them to refer to one another. ;) I, too, tend to throw out my back when I'm stressed out. And pms-ing. I'm wondering if you have considered not using the Vicodin or oxy and just using naproxen sodium? It's an anti-inflammatory, and if you take 3, they are prescription strength. They will make you sleepy so don't drive while using them. If you've been diagnosed with-a bulging disc you'll have to continue with-the chiro for awhile. Do you have a decreased disc space there, too? It could be something genetic, and you just have to be extra careful in general. Remind me ... when did you do your knee replacement? If it was recent, I'd do the PT asap because you don't want that little window after surgery to pass you by. So I wouldn't wait more than a wk or so. It shouldn't take your back that long to relax, I would hope. [/QUOTE]
