Knee issues corrected

I haven't been in to see "the boys', as I call them, in a while. Probably since the end of April. Part of the reason is because I have had my layoff (of 4 wks) extended until Sept. Wayyyy too long. So the money is not there. They would say that is no excuse, but I want to pay my way as I go.

That being said, Dr V did a 'talk' at a class I'm taking with the local police dept. and I realized I couldn't put it off any longer. Not that anything was bothering me, except my knees. After injuring my right knee during an outdoors zumba class years ago, and doing therapy for it, it still crunches (holding my hand on my knee) when I bend and straighten it, I can feel it.

Today I went over to the facility and before Dr V did any adjustments, I had him put him hand on my knee and feel it crunch. He said something about my ligament possibly being damaged, and had me lie down. After doing the adjustments he felt I needed, he did some additional ones for my rght knee. Had me bend my knees and put my feet on the bed (I was laying on my back). He bent my lower leg to the left holding my knee and thigh under his arm. He also pulled on my leg (hyperextended it). Whatever he did, it stopped hurting like it was. Not to say there is no ache there, but hardly any at all. Before this, every step was painful.

Unfortunately, it gave me a slight  sinus headache, so after all my errands, I came home and took one Excedrin Migraine. (sorry Dr V. I have to be well enough to go to my graduating class tonight, and the smell of the chili I'm bringing wasn't settling correct in my stomach). Was nice to see my teacher (officer) of my class show up for his adjustmnt as I was leaving. lol

Update needed

I must say I haven't been posting anything here, because all seems to be so improved. I did get a migraine in the middle of the Blizzard of 2013 (in the Northeast it was called Charlotte). got ick in a snowbank and keep shoveling my section of the driveway, then went inside the house, got sick again and headed for bed. Slept most of it off. Unfortunately we had my mom (age 84) as a guest. She ended up taking care of me, sort of.

I'm only scheduled to see the chiropractors on a every-other-week basis, but I tend to hold off seeing them to every three weeks when I can (due to the cost). I'm on a layoff of 6 wks right now, so I can't afford to go as often as they'd like. I'll be there sometime this week.

The last time I went they did relieve some pain in my knee (although I keep re-injuring it). Right knee (inside) was giving me some pretty intense pain (I'd tried to go ice skating in my sneakers with my grandson Kai and I slid sideways (and my ankle turned). Yeowww! Hurt for a few weeks before I went to see them, and the pain was gone in a day or two.

Still must admit it works.
