Twitching After Chiropractor Treatment?

[girlygirlz]

My twitching (all over, for 5 months now) started after I had been treated by a chiropractor. Do you think that this actually could have triggered it? Or that he "destroyed" something in my back? I had (direct translation from swedish, sorry) three "locks" in my spine (pain from the thoracal region, still have) and was treated for that 5 or 6 times. The chiropractor is working in a well-known clinic and he is very well-educated, I know, but I still wonder about this. I have been to a neuro this august, and was told that everything was OK. No clinical weakness at that time, but no EMG...

I guess that the main reason to my wondering is that I just HAVE to get an answear to all of this. Why are my muscles twitching like crazy all the time? I was in a state of high anxiety as well (worrying about other diseases, as cancer) when all this started, and maybe that is more likely to have triggered it, but I try to sort everything out that I have done to get an explanation.

My knees always feel tight and kind of weak, and I have problems finding a good position to stand still. I have pain in my hands, neck, shoulders and my back and my muscles get very easily tired (esp my right arm). I have paraestesias and all other crazy symptoms that will come with BFS. But still I can't get rid of my worries. I have been Ok for quite a while know, but am starting to worry again...

So...what do you think of the chiropractor-thing?

Jenny,

I can't give you a straight answer but there is a chiropractor on the board named Diego4Life who might be able to answer your question.

It seems like my visits to the chiropractor made me feel better overall, although I haven't been since May.

Good Luck.

Jenny:

There is absolutely no correlation between chiropractic adjustment and twitching. However, you have to watch out what they do with their hands in other regards. I have been to numerous chiros, both men and women, and they are all over me, all the time. Yes, it is true that I am a stud monkey but c'mon. Its like beating them off with a stick, even the secretaries try to get some action once they see my shirt off. Ya, I got pecs that most guys would kill for but hey......its all natural, just like my winning smile and fat lips. I'm sure Diego4Life is more discreet, but who knows. Maybe when I go to the old country I might just find out.

Cheers,
