After lots of ups and downs with back docs and osteos I think you are dead right. Maybe it's because we have the Bournemouth international school of Chiropractic not far from us, but there are lots of practices to choose from plus being able to go to the college itself and get treated half-price! Which of course appeals to the Yorkshire in me!
So I'd go with a chiro every time.
Really pleased to here you are with one!

Well he is multi-disciplined and homed in on my "dead arms", found the imbalance in the signal pathways (L/R) and needs the x-rays to look for any skeletal reasons for nerve impingement I guess.
I have never broken a bone in my body, but my half-brother (10 years younger) has raging osteoporosis and is like glass and has broken many bones.
Maybe it's my turn to go as crumbly as old cheese ;)

Sounds like you've got a good-un there.
Re your bruv, i'm really sorry to hear that. don't know if osteoporosis has a genetic link I think'i've heard it has but if he is only your half-brother then you may well have missed the genetic link.
So I checked and yes it has.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/174...ily studies have,of fracture itself is modest.
Maybe you can find out which half of his family had it in the past?
X-rays (I had my back x-rayed) don't show much as discs, tendons etc don't really show up, MIR scanning would show it though, I think. Maybe he is looking for angles within the vertebra which could indicate abnormalities in the discs, or simply misalignment. But bone density may well show up on X-rays.

Wifey was a DipHE RGN and a theatre Recovery Sister; so she dragged out the physiology picture book and sure enough the nerves related to the lower arms (Medial & Radial) all go through a couple of the Cervical vertebra.
I will bell him up for another appointment next week and see what the x-rays tell him. It does hint that trauma in this area causes loss of sensation etc. etc. But as this only occurs at night when I am sleeping it doesn't stop me during the day.
The current soreness & pain feels more muscular to me, but what do I know? Ans: SFA. ;)
 
Afternoon folks:).

Another day of plodding on working away, Got to use the digger to load the little trailer of excess dirt took half the time and no backache after:) got to love toys:D.
The temp is starting to drop, still wam, but not at the same point of not being able to work in it. That means my days working hours have got longer as I have no excuse:(.

For all the old bones on here I feel for you, but at the end of the day its telling you to slow down and spend some money on yourself, get somebody else to do it:).
I did it a while ago when my elbows stared playing up with all the rendering/floor laying/plastering and they have been fine since as long as I dont overdo things. So now I only plaster 1 wall a day ;).

1 more day for the workers, then its 2 days of work;):p.

Re fridges and them going bust, when I lived in France as a student I had a good mate whose dad was a fridge engineer who lived in Rothesay. He used to travel around with him lending a hand when he was working. One evening we were both at a party and the hostess's fridge turned out to be bust, just an ornery under the counter thing, so we dragged it out to have a look at it.
John, my mate, said, "there's not much we can do with this but there is one thing we can try, empty it, turn it upside down and see if it can be made to go" so we did, it didn't work, but the hostess was very grateful for our efforts and took me to bed to prove it. What fun!:D:D:D:D

In central Lille, unlikely, BUT I did flog my Renault 6 just before leaving to a guy who had a 90! It was a kind of cream colour. And he lived in a block of flats in the city. God knows why he had one! But like us, he loved it to bits!:):):)
Don't know any other frog with a Landy, cept the bloke who used to run the Landy garage who has 2 TD5 Discos, and only other one with a 4x4 is a bloke from the next village with an immaculate WW2 Willys jeep complete with trailer.
Grrrrr!
I am so jealous!:mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
As it's that time of year again ...
