My arm is killing me!!!

[Veiled Princess 1]

I'm scared of chiropracters. I've always heard that once you go to one, you have to keep going or else your pain will return. I do a pretty good job at cracking my own back and neck though - fun at parties!

My dad has always gone to one for as long as I can remember... swears by them but always has to go back...

A co-worker was telling me they give deep-tissue massages too... is that true or they just "crack your back"?

Edited to add: But I don't think one's gonna do anything about your arm

It happens, you need to get some rest and it will be fine. IF you have some BenGay you can apply it to it before going to bed this evening.

I went to the chiropractor once for chronic back pain. They took x-rays etc and told me I was severely out of alignment..right hip was inch and a half below my left(no wonder I hurt). They tried to crack it, but I was told I would need to come back for about 4 months of weekly sessions to get my back loose enough. I didn't go back alas, not having the money...my insurance doesn't cover chiropractors.

I have had the same exact pain for the past 5 years. I have been told by my doctor that its from my sleeping position, which is laying on my stomach with my arms tucked under my pillow. My doctor said something about the ligaments or muscles get shorter over time and they actually get pinched in your joint. LOL, since she offered no immediate relief, you can tell I was not paying attention to her.

The best and non invasive relief for backs and necks is to go and see a craniosacral therapist. They will realign your back without cranking it by adjusting the spinal fluid in your head. It's very relaxing and effective. Also good for any kind of chronic headaches. Sounds like you have some trapped nerves and a good back rub will help relieve that too.
