I've been suffering from back pain for a few years now and all my doctor tells me is that it's because of my weight and my breasts. And his solution is : "you should get a breast reduction"! But I don't want to do that! These babies are the one part of my body I don't hate; I like them, they're my best assets ^_^
Anyway, since I refuse to get surgery, one of my colleagues suggested I should go see an osteopath.
At first I wasn't sure but after having stayed awake all night again because of my back (and I had to take a huge dose of Dafalgan to finally sleep a little) and after a trip to my mom's where I depleted her pain medication (she had it because her friend drove over her foot! We're prone to accidents in this family! This was only 2 weeks after my fall down the library stairs).
OK; all this to say I finally made an appointment and yesterday was the day.
First, hes asks all kind of questions : where does it hurt? Since when? Any accident? Surgery? and so on.
Then starts the weird stuff : I lay down on my back and then he puts his arm between my legs with his hand resting at the top of my butt and stays there for a while, just sometimes moving his fingers!!! Then he puts his hands on other parts of the body (back, shoulders, head)
After that, he pulls my right leg a little, wiggle my hips with my knees bent and then makes me stand and moves my hips very gently.
And that's it! He tells me that the whole right side of my body was higher than the other side and that it's to protect my liver (what????)
Anyway, he tells me to not get butchered because my pain has nothing to do with my weight (which I knew all along. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!). I should be OK and if not come back next month but then it's good.
After I got home, I slept the whole day away. I have no idea what he did but I feel better already!
