Hey, I never got in. Got called up when my student status ended in late 1965.
I came armed with medical stuff, even x-rays.....heh, heh, heh.
But none of those worked.
What did it? Me friggen eyeballs, mate ..... blinder'n a bat.
First, the tester asked me to remove my glasses, he then instructed me to look
at the wall....... 'which wall ?', I replied.
Ooouutttttttttt..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . It wasn't needed to keep me out of the Army in 1967. My number
was 186. Talk about lottery!

Come to think of it;
I was diagnosed with spondilolesthesis at aged 15 and had
back problems from then on. It even kept me out of the Army in 1967. Then the
30' fall from a power poll in 1970 at aged 22, which smashed everything.
Anyway, what we are NOT considering is how many others had
all these problems and never went on to develop MS, TM, or any similar
condition. Because I know of very few persons who do not have some sort of
back condition—injury-situation-whatever.

I've wondered about that too... I've had Scoliosis since I
was 12, had 9 vertebrae fused together at 19 and now TM. Wish i could hit the
Lottery with that much luck!

There is a good amount of people with TM that has had spine
injuries prior to getting TM. Is there a connection to this or just
coincidence? Does anyone know?

Well, I have spondylolisthesys at L-2,3 .... which means
that L-3 is out of place and pulled back from L-2. I got it in the mid 1980s
when trying to lift a very heavy window without support.
I felt a ping in my lower back, but that was all.
I forgot about it till: after trying to move a crate
weighing over 220 lbs, I pulled that old injury to my spine and a few dayze
later, I had a bad case of sciatica and then lumbago. So I went to a
chiropractor who took x-rays of my spine, pinpointed the troubling spot and
proceeded to manipulate my back, pushing here, massaging there, etc........
My neck was also having a bout of crepitation so she worked
on that one as well. Five years afterwards, I lost all discomfort in my
back and neck.
Yes, it took that long....but it was worth it. However,
when I overdo it at work some 'pain' comes back so I do some exercises she also
taught me, some involve stretching and bending; and when doing some of them I
can 'hear' my spine shifting (crunch crunch) and the 'pain' is gone. Same with
my neck. The noises have never bothered me, and have never been threatening
to my back or neck.
I've heard of some horror stories about chiropractors.
But not me.... did I luck out.......????
If I had to do it again, I'd jump right in.

Hey group!
I don't usually ask about opinions dealing with myself,
but more often about concerns of other folks, but this time it's about me. Has
anyone in our group ever used chiropractic treatment after TM? I have had TM
for 10 years and are able to walk either unaided or with a cane or walker
depending on the circumstances. Over the last few years, because of my gait
issues, and the way I "waddle", I have developed hip pain on a daily basis. I
have gotten approval from my neuro to see a chiropractor but there is still
that little nagging voice in my head that tells me not to mess with my spine.
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this. Thanks folks!
Sue
