Chipping Away
This week I got to see the lady with the neck pain.
Her pain level has dropped from the 9 level it was to a consistent 5. That is huge, and I do appreciate this change. But not as much as my patient does. ;-)
She said "I am almost afraid to talk about it because I do not want to jinx whatever you've done."
The trapezius muscle at the top of her shoulder has loosened up so it is now more like a rope instead of a steel cable. It is progress, to be sure. But it's not over, this I know.
The morning I saw her she had had a migraine, that had to have pain relief, medication style. When I saw her the headache had dropped to a 2. When she left she was happy, relaxed and pain-free.
I will keep chipping away at this. I know it will be resolved, and that she is in a much better position than she has been for the last 17 years...

This is wonderful! However, since you didn't tell us about the needle you left in, are we to assume that it's still there and that they'll never believe her story at the airport?
