Bone cracking

Since I came back from Australia, I always felt this constant sore on my waist when I walked too long. So my mom decided to take me to visit a chiropractor. I was told by my aunt that it was very painful when ‘setting the bones’ but I knew I can endure the pain…(no matter what it takes)
The chiropractor looked younger than I thought…probably in his early 30′s. He examined my legs and spine. He asked me if I fell on my back few months ago. I was astonished and nodded my head. I did fall on my back in March this year. He said my spine had become an ‘s’ and it had to be ‘aligned’ before it becomes worse. He also mentioned that my ‘s’ spine has also caused stomach bloating, headache, shoulder ache, chest pain (lack of oxygen and blood circulation) and etc. If I don’t get it fixed, I might even suffer excruciating pain on my pelvic bone for 10 MONTHS when I am PREGNANT! Oh dear….I definitely don’t want to go through that. I want to be a happy mom!!!
Anyway, he ‘twisted’ and pressed my joints on my feet, knees, thighs,spin
e, pelvic bone, arms, hands and fingers. I felt like a TWISTED PUPPETS! I must admit that it was very painful when he ‘aligned’ my feet and pelvic bone. There were times when I can’t stand the pain, the chiropractor asked me to breathe like how a pregnant lady does the contraction breathing. Man…I felt like I was going to give birth….
I still have to go back for a few sessions and he promised me that I will feel lesser pain after each session. *cross my fingers* Oh…I measured my height before i visit him and guess what, I am taller by 0.5 cm now…after the visit that is…=)
I just have to take care of my spine now. *annoyed* Sitting, walking, standing….feeling so fragile and so worried that my spine will bend again. *argh*
