Buffistas

I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A medical question:

It turned out that my back pain was a dislocated rib, which I apparently got in an excess of sympathy for Hil. (Actually, I think it was the dog's fault. Just before this started, I was walking out to the mailbox with him on a leash when he spotted a chipmunk and made a mad dash after it. There was a sort of popping sensation at the time, but it took me a while to put it together because the pain didn't start immediately.) After the muscle spasms calmed down, my chiropractor popped it back into place. It immediately stopped hurting to breathe and was getting better. Today, however, there's more pain and a weird popping sensation, like it's popping in and out. Has anyone ever had that? Is there something I can do? It feels so strange.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yikes, Ginger. I have no advice, but lots of sympathy.

Sorry, I have no advice either.

I've had that happen. I don't really know what to do for it, other than relax and try to find a comfortable position. Sometimes either putting on or taking off a bra helps -- it changes where there's pressure.

It's not terribly painful, but it's very weird.

Yeah. Like, jiggly, kind of.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Thanks for checking Amyth!

Ginger, i have 2 ribs that aren't very good at staying in place and there's usually a day or so of muscle spasms after the 'injury' and then also after the adjustment while the muscles freak about about anything moving (even when that movement is like breath-restoring magic). It may very well be back out...i'd go with lots of ice and a return to the chiro. Then, once the spasms subside, a good back/core/strengthening/stabilizing exercise regime to minimize future recurrences.

Thanks, erin and Hil. I do some back/abs exercises, but I need to put together something more focused.
