Well I was already to have surgery and it was called off - I was actually on my way to the hospital when the doctor called. I made the mistake of taking down ibuprofen two days ago and the doctor told me to reschedule - yikes I was almost convinced that I was doing the right thing - I actually had my bed already for a camp out. I know it sounds like sabotage because some here know I was really taking the dark side on this surgery but it really was just a stupid mistake on my part and not intentional - back to the drawing board. I’ll probably reschedule before my arm falls off. Oh crap!!!!!

I looked it up last night. It said nsaids could interfere with blood clotting. I thought that was just aspirin, but apparently not. Better safe than sorry! I love my ibuprofen - so yeah that stuff really does work! I come home from my chiropractor aching all over, pop a couple, take a nap, and wake up feeling like a million bucks.

So now you have time to prepare. Its all good!
Thanks for this!

Do chiropractors help - I was so thinking about talking to one but was hesitant because technically they aren’t doctors. Also, I want to make sure I have this arm problem solved because it’s painful. I’m concerned about my other arm suffering the same fate 😱😱😱

I find that some chiros are really talented. i cant explain it any other way - they either have "the gift" or they dont. Its like listening to American Idol - some people give you chills when they sing. Thats the chiropractor you want. Others might be able to do a little good, in my experience, but a really great one - its like finding any other good relationship. You have to be really honest. If you feel like youre settling, you probably are.
