alonewiththemoon | I love my chiropractor (Reply)

By happy chance, I had a chiropractor appointment scheduled for today, so I talked to her about the toe and knee issues mentioned in my last post. My tibia was twisted! Well, not quite twisted, that's more alliterative than accurate, but it was in fact out of place and laterally rotated, which explains the pains just past either end of that bone as all the muscles that attach to it get stretched out of shape. She did some adjusting and easily half the pain left my toes, and when I put my foot down I could feel my weight much more evenly distributed across the front of my foot. She agreed with me re carpet being bad and thinks ballet slippers will work better, and also gave me exercises to strengthen the outer calf muscles so that they won't allow the tibia to slump back inwards. So hopefully I can get this problem under control and stay in Amira Jamal's class. Yay!
