Frustrations Continue

Ugh.  It now seems that I'm caught in this endless loop of "no pain-pain".  As my back starts to feel better, I find myself sleeping more on my stomach which leads me to be in pain again.  Only when I am in pain, am I able to sleep on my side consistently.  Once I start feeling better, rolling onto my stomach doesn't wake me immediately, until I wake up aching.

I have decided to see a DC, doctor of chiropractic.  It is obvious to me that I need some specific spine work.  The little bit of spine mobilization that we did on Monday evening in therapy, has been something of an awakening for my back.  All of a sudden I am aware of the movement of that portion of my spine.  It's actually kind of weird since I am not used to feeling it mobile like that.  Don't get me wrong, I like it!  Just little things, for example if I reach for something in front of me but slightly off to the side, wow, I can feel my spine moving!  Then I wonder if that's how most people feel.

Anyway, this morning was all therapy-specific exercises and Intu-Flow Beginner.  I found a DC's office right near work, so I'm hoping to land a quick appointment and get myself in there soon.  Only about 3 physical therapy sessions left before I would have to return to my MD for a continuation of that treatment.  What to do?
