buying comfort?
I went to the chiropractor today. It still is painful as hell
when he adjusts my lower spine and my hips. I just bury my face in
the paper covered cushions and squeeze tight. I am a little
disappointed that I have only improved as far as I have. I still
have substantial pain every day making it difficult to do everyday
tasks, and work still has to be kept on the lighter side, meanwhile I
don't have to take excessive amounts of pain medication to cope. I
suppose I am not being very patient, it has only been a couple weeks of
treatments. I just am not used to this kind of disability. I
have decided to get myself a feather bed mattress to go on top of my
futon because I haven't been sleeping well at all either. I
also have to go out and get a new chair for the living room. I
don't have anywhere in my apartment that I can sit comfortably for more
then 15 minutes. I think this causes me more pain on the weekends
then I would have if I wasn't constantly irritating my back from one
sitting position to the next. I did some research with
chairs and I am thinking of getting a
Homedics antigravity chair. It is supposed to take all the
weight off the spine and it has massage settings and heat settings as
well.
