There is only one I have every had for it, get used to it. For the last 8 years have had a stiff neck and I have just had to work through it. If you find something good I would REALLY like to know.infinitetime said:Anyone?

Chiropractors using the gonstead method are not quacks. How can you even believe this? It is proven over and over again that their methods work well. Maybe you just once had a bad chiropractor?Phobos said:IMO, chiropractor = quack (a debate for the skepticism & debunking forum).

Have you tried consulting an actual doctor?

Ivan Seeking said:After nearly thirty years in medicine, Tsu agrees. She has scanned many people [mainly necks] who were hurt by their Chiropractor. The accupressure and whatnot is fine, but I wouldn't get near anyone who does manipulations.
Also, Advil is pretty effective. The main value is the anti-inflammatory function, with pain relief being secondary. So it must be taken on schedule for the full benefits. This is not a pain pill but it does help with that as well.
I have to go with the chiropractic verges on quackery opinion. One of my clients is a Chiropractic College and I've dated two chiropractors. While some of things they do may give temporary relief (a massage gives temporary relief) they do not have the ability to cure a "real" medical situation. It's mostly chance if a medical condition happens to improve after visiting a chiropractor. I've found chiropractic is a bit like religion.Moonbear said:I agree, on both points. I've never known anyone who went to a chiropractor who actually got better, and several who have gotten much worse, yet keep going back for their "adjustments."
That's sad.zoobyshoe said:"...some type of tumor..."
I bet if you searched long enough you'd find a perfect explanation of what it really was. Just something the doc hadn't heard of.
Misdiagnosis can go the other way, too. I knew a guy who was diagnosed with Padgetts disease, which is a degenerative bone disease, after suffering much pain in his leg. Turned out later he'd had bone cancer the whole time.
I apologise if you felt I was having a go at you (as the reply seemed to imply that).infinitetime said:I am used to it ...I have put up with it forever, it happens randomly - well, prob when I'm stressed :uhh:
But, I just wanted a cure once and for all...like you The Bob
And no, I have never seen a doctor for it
Bored, I have done a little googling. Did they rule out gout? That location is exactly where people get gout.Evo said:It wasn't a corn, callous or bunion.
They ruled it out, but I think that's probably what it was. I had trouble with high levels of uric acid in my teens and early twenties, but the pain was in my hands and the middle of my left forearm of all places.zoobyshoe said:Bored, I have done a little googling.

The Bob, I am going to disagree with your mom. It is not normal for someone your age, and due to your height, you really should have tests done. Have you been to a bone specialist?The Bob said:Seeing a doctor would be good. I did but they said I would have to see a physiotheropist, which was fine by me. Then I asked my mum and she said 'I always get pains but I have to get used to it' and you know how that makes you feel. The 'I-only-asked-because-it-hurts-but-if-you-have-it-as-well-then-I-obviously-cannot-get-the-problem-sorted' feeling.The Bob (2004 ©)
When I googled "gout" I found there is a similar thing called "pseudo-gout". Check that out and see it the dx fits any better.Evo said:It didn't act exactly like gout and it didn't respond to treatment.
No, pseudogout has calcium deposits. What I had was a soft mass attached to the side of my big toe, not in the joint, but near it. I could bend my toe just fine and it didn't hurt to move it. I would have pain only if I stood still for awhile, like standing in front of a sink washing dishes. Walking, running, climbing were not affected.zoobyshoe said:When I googled "gout" I found there is a similar thing called "pseudo-gout". Check that out and see it the dx fits any better.
No, relax...relax...relax...it's easy!infinitetime said:We have to control our mind, control, control...but it's hard.

I thought the same. I suppose I will have to just put up with my mum.Evo said:The Bob, I am going to disagree with your mom. It is not normal for someone your age, and due to your height, you really should have tests done. Have you been to a bone specialist?
I suppose amputation would be a little extreme. :uhh:infinitetime said:But, I just wanted a cure once and for all...

Another queer thing I ran across was the case of a woman who had a complete extra, redundant muscle attached to her little toe. No one would ever have known except that it became inflamed. Could be you have an extra, redundant big toe muscle.Evo said:No, pseudogout has calcium deposits. What I had was a soft mass attached to the side of my big toe, not in the joint, but near it.
