URGENT! trapped nerves can you help?

Good to hear from you.  You've really been through the mill ... must have been very frightening for you.

Do hope you're soon well on the mend and have the family multi-tasking while you're recovering!

Just for the record, I went to a chiropractor once when my back completely seized up.  Yes, it was put right after a few sessions, but a while later it was discovered I've got a medical condition that could have been made loads worse by the manipulation involved, so I was lucky.  Hence, I'm always very sceptical about this "radical" form of treatment.

All the best for a speedy recovery and take it easy (not that you have much choice ::)).

Ask your physio if she thinks Alexander Technique might help. It's non-manipulative so a lot less risky than more aggressive treatments: teaches you how to hold and use your body better. Takes practice with daily sessions lying on the floor, but could be worth a go.

thanks Mimi and Savvy for your responses.

You could be right Savvy_sue but, sadly, my lying on the floor days are long gone :-[

However I may give Bowen a go when I am a bit better. It is also non-agressive and non-manipulative - worked a treat when I had swollen ankles......
