When our health is on the line, it's always best to look for the most experienced specialist to assure that we will be healed immediately. This may not be a good experience for you, but what matters most is you're getting better. I hope you're now doing great! => Tanisha @ <a href="http://www.ushealthworks.com/Lynnwood-Center.html" rel="nofollow">US Health Works (Lynnwood Center)</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895502902916890458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-57447474425547605242013-09-06T15:29:57.418-05:002013-09-06T15:29:57.418-05:00I believe my chiropractor worsened my stress fract...I believe my chiropractor worsened my stress fracture. I have a tibial stress fracture...causing pain I thought was my knee. The chiropractor said my leg was out of alignment, pulled my leg and whacked the sides of my knee to put things back. I told him this was hurting...but he didn't stop. The pain got worse, and I had an MRI from the sports doctor and found a severe stress fracture. No more chiropractor for me.Paul VanMaanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574873427445739270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-65889177838043693602013-05-16T21:00:06.920-05:002013-05-16T21:00:06.920-05:00I know - so distinctive!

It's so tricky. I will say that years ago when I had a tibial stress fracture, my calf hurt like a beast too, so maybe the opposing muscle hurting is part and parcel to the injury? misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-9509855142496689482013-05-16T09:41:18.147-05:002013-05-16T09:41:18.147-05:00Rest is HARD.

Chiropractors and PT people can be good about some treatment and helping with symptoms, but some of them aren't qualified to fully diagnose you to discover what you are dealing with. Also, isn't it their job to have you come back as often as possible? I realize that most chiros would be truthful about what you are dealing with, but if you go to a sports doc and get fully healed, you are lost to them as a patient.

Conversely the two times I have seen two separate sports doctors, they have diagnosed and prescribed treatment that has fixed my problem. Its anecdotal evidence, but like you - Im always going to the doctor first now!Two Little Runnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358955748988516036noreply@blogger.com
