I went to the chiropractor today for some pain I was having in my back that was radiating down my leg...( which of course I thought was a blood clot). And now I have pain and a headache from my adjustment and am worried that I am going to be the one in ten million case where something terrible happens after an adjustment!!! Uh why is it always something?!?! I sometimes feel so self-centered because I can't focus on much else!!! I am going CRAZY over here!! smhair

You are not being self-centered you are feeling anxious! Now, with that said...getting your mind off of these worries, and distracting yourself with something outside of yourself could really help you to feel better:)

If it's possible, busy yourself with a hobby, movie, music, exercise, or something with a freind/loved one to break the cycle of worrying, and get your mind onto something else.

You are going to be fine...and almost always a headache is just a headache:)

I hope that you can get to a calmer place and feel better and enjoy your evening. Do something special for yourself that you really like, and keep thinking positively as much as you can.

Be well,

Take an anti-inflammatory, like Advil, Aleve, Motrin, etc... That is, if you can.

I remember getting headaches and having some mild pain after my chiro appointments sometimes, but he told me that it's because he put my spine back in alignment after it's been out for a long period of time.

And if anything DO NOT use heat on it, use ice if the pain is that bad.

You will be fine!....Fox
