Query on seeing my chiro tomorrow, 6 days after surgery?
Hi again
I have made an appoinment to see my chiropractor tomorrow as have had so much pain in my body since surgery.
I'm not quite sure as since surgery I seem to have had swelling around back of neck, shoulder blades etc and been uncomfortable my skin to touch. I did go to the doctor 2 days after surgery to ask and she said it was probably because I have a damaged neck prior to surgery it has probably flared up, although the swelling has concerned me. I took anti inflammatories for 48 hours and had improvement. Have stopped now as trying to get by without them. I would definately say there is still some swelling and discomfort in that whole upper region of my body.
So my concern was, should I be going to a chiro or waiting until all this settles down. If it was just a sore neck I wouldn't worry, but because still some swelling, I'm wondering whether maybe they may be pushing fluid around or something like that. Does that make sense. He is very good, I just don't want to make an error with treatment during this first week or two recovery from surgery.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers, Karen :)
