Right after my last journal, Doc realized my right calf is an inch and a half smaller than my left; usually indicative of nerve damage and impingement. Yay me! When I asked what we're going to do about that, he explained that we're already doing it. He will continue to make adjustments and give me injections while I continue to work on losing weight and exercising. Mission accomplished... I think we can officially declare the plateau broken? Now I am headed back to his offices to see his associate because I'm having trouble with my vocal chords! NOT GOOD THE WEEK BEFORE MY FIRST GIG! We're going to try something different (Acupuncture, cupping, ???...). I have done everything I can think of:
Yogi Throat Soother Tea (Almost constantly)
Honey
Diffusing essential oils (Young Living R.C., Ravintsara, Eucalyptus)
Anti-inflammatory diet/soup
Ranitidine to calm silent reflux
Warm compresses & scarves
Oil-pulling
I'm on day 4 of a course of methylprednisolone to calm widespread inflammation. Still struggling.
Any singers out there with new suggestions?
