Let's talk about pain!!
I have been quiet lately, I have been in so much pain..
When I was 18 I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed as they became impacted and one abscessed. Worse pain ever!!
During the operation (I was put to sleep) they had to dislocate my jaw. Long story short it never worked properly ever after, it has clicked and clunked, partially dislocated itself, and been an ongoing problem, but I managed till the past 2 years, now, OMG the pain!
First of all I had a terrible middle ear infection in July 2023 and ever since I have flare-ups almost monthly. I went to the doctors and the dentist because my ear, teeth and jaw hurt so much, they found I had TMJ. And of course they had all these great ideas that would leave me crazy out of pocket, with no promise the treatment would work. So I turned to castor oil & hot and cold compresses and for a while it worked... till it didn't. Three weeks ago, I couldn't bare the pain any longer, so I decided to start seeing a chiropractor and we discovered my neck and jaw were out of alignment on my left side by almost 1cm... We also discovered that I had some arthritis in the neck and bone degeneration, plus some very deep trapped emotions that were also contributing to my misalignment and my pain.
So we started weekly adjustments & NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique), this is such a powerful treatment. A big emotional release each time. My treatment will be ongoing, but I feel better than I have for years thank you to Dr Olivia at Northern Beaches Spine Care in Mackay.
Prolonged pain is debilitating, we don't always know why we are in pain and it can take time to get to the source of the problem. Just taking pain relief will not resolve the root cause!!
So, I am back on my feet and slowly returning to exercise and work, which is very pleasing and exciting. I have so much in store for the next 12 months.. I am starting my recovery journey, right where I am, and would like to share it with you all as I go. I will share some of the therapies and natural ways to heal, along with excercise routines and nutrition that are helping me to thrive at 51 years of age!!
Peace Georgie xx
