7 ribs big to major problem

 Tomorrow I get my rib injections! I am excited about that. 

I asked my chiropractor if he could let my pain Dr. know what ribs are the ones that are giving me the most problems.  Here is what he said. 

Rib Subluxation                                                                                                                                                  There are various areas where the rib head meets the transverse process of the thoracic spine.  The areas we find most often effected, but are not limited to, are T11 and T12 on the right, and T8,9,10 of the left.   Also on the upper right at T6 and 7.These are areas they could focus on in injections, but like I mentioned, there are primary sites and you get other less severe ones as well.

I look at this and realize 7 ribs are big to major problems. 

I did have my appointment with my pain Dr. last week. Did not change any medications. I asked her if there are things we could try besides chiropractor and injections. I am going to try a couple new things.          

1.  I am going to try PT. She has a pt person is really good with my conditions.                                      
2.   Going to try also working with a pain physiologist. She works with learning to live in the now. Where my condition is and expecting it. Finding ways to live with it and not over doing it. Saying no without guilt. Dealing with some of the trauma the did cause some of the damage.                                  
3. Then of we are in the process of purchasing our place in AZ.                                                     
4. John also talked to me about reducing my gluten intake. I got very lazy and have let that go. John said he thinks I feel better with I reduce my gluten intake. He is right. After covid. My tastes changed and that is when I got lazy on this.
