X-rays!!!

MY SPINE HURTS!!!



Some of my friends might have heard me grumble and complain about the old injuries on my spine before. It's been there since young after I fell down consecutively on the same spot - the lower tip of my spine!

I thought I'd gotten used to the pain already.. but the pain has become more and more intense these past few weeks. I went for X-ray today after seeing a chiropractic specialist. They took 7 X-ray slides of my spine!!!

Imagine how many cells have been killed. I don't want to get cancer!... =S


The doctor did a muscle scan around my spine region.


The diagram on the right-hand side shows the intensity of normal muscle tension.. indicated by the length of the white bars.

The two diagrams on the left are the results of my diagnostics.

The black regions showed severe tension / muscle pull. Which means my upper spine is pulled to towards the left and lower spine is pulled towards the rght!

That should really explains the pain I'm experiencing.

I will be going back for intensive treatment, starting real soon. *sighs* I'm worried.

Doctor advice against activities which would strain my back and looks like I'd have to miss Hall 8's Night Cycling session this fri night...

I just want to be healthy...
