Slept badly -- lots of pain and $193 of unexpected expence today

March 10th, 2009 at 06:43 pm

I woke up with a pinched nerve, only able to carry my head crookedly to my left shoulder.
I went to work anyway, but the pain got worse.

So my boss have me the name of a chiropractor, and was able to get an appointment in half an hour.

$165 for the chiropractor (does not take insurance)
$28.48 for a reusable heat pad with straps and a bottle of advil.

Chiropractor made me able to at least turn my head, but my muscles are spasmed and still hurt a lot.

I remember that I have some vicodent at home - I filled a prescription after my root canal but never used it.
I think this is the time of need - it hurts more than after the root canal.

I am too young to have these kinds of problems!

But at least I can afford to deal with it. I am glad that our budget is not so tight that we wouldn't be able to pay some bill if this happened. Or that my job will not even count few hours of to see the doctor and I can do it any time I need. Trying to look at the positive side (since I can't look at the left side).

    Ouch! I hope you feel better soon. Try to take some time to relax and it should heal soon on it's own.

    I have done that before. I ended up going to the chiro that morning and then again that afternoon. I was too locked up the first time for them to "crack" it into place. Then I went back the next day and had the final adjustment.

    I hope you feel better soon! Isn't funny that at times like these we tend to count our lucky stars? I count my blessings every day.
