PT/chiropractor question

[philstar22]

Should I be worried if the day after a session, I'm in so much pain I can't eat and can't move my neck or head without crying from the pain? My therapist said that he'd done extra work on my neck yesterday and it was normal. But the pain was so intense I basically sat at my desk all day and didn't get up unless I absolutely had to. And I did cry at several points.

I've taken a muscle relaxor and am a small bit better. At least feeling a little hungry. Laying in bed helps. But honestly, today really freaked me out. And I'm wondering if I need to find a new therapist.

Yeah that sounds fucked up. I'm not a doctor but your doctor's lack of concern seems like a big red flag to me.

That being said, I am also not a fan of chiropractors in general so if my PT or doctor recommended me to one I'd be raising a brow at that too.

I'm sorry you're in so much pain though, even if it's "part of the healing process" (which I doubt) it still sucks.

I would definitely not trust one of these, js

I've never used one before. This is a place my office recommended, they are handling things because it is from a car accident. He's a legit doctor who also does chiropractic stuff. But yes, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. I don't think this much pain is normal.

I don't think it's normal, either. You might already know this, but there's a depressing tendency for doctors (both male AND female doctors) to downplay/dismiss the pain off female patients. I hope in your case that's not what's happening.

If someone is a chiropractor or is a legit doctor and also does chiropractic, get out ASAP and go somewhere else. Chiros are quacks.

My dad always felt that way. I honestly don't know. My sister had really good results from one after her car accident last year.

Follow the science. TLDR: Science says it's useless bullshit at best, with a risk of internal decapitation.

Yeah, but there are people who will swear on a stack of Bibles that they got good health results from: essential oils, tarot card readings, magnetic jewelry, magic water, detox tea, ear candles, all kinds of snake oil. Go by science, not by anecdotal "evidence".

DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is usually expected after more strenuous therapy in the way it is after exercise, but it should never be debilitating. I've had some PT say that the only time that can happen is with particularly hardcore muscle work a la re-teaching someone's legs to walk, and if they anticipate it, they warn the patient and offer solutions before they leave the appointment. If the doctor didn't mention delayed soreness and at which level said soreness was actually in need of medical attention, they're shit and you should find someone else. But DOMS is usually just "ow ow ow I'm feeling yesterday's workout," not crying, so while you can ask if they meant to warn you about any delayed pain, you should at least tell them you experienced pain beyond an expected threshhold and refuse to engage in that kind of treatment again.

I mean, I'm rehabbing a torn ACL and meniscus, I have days where my leg gives out on me but I can still function. My PT has always said that if even my weak little at-home stretches hurt, I should immediately stop them and notify her so we can find something better. If the chiro's response is more like "well yeah it should hurt, deal with it," fuck them.

You should not be in that much pain.
