In February 2003 I developed problems with my right shoulder, which got progressively worse. I had seen a rheumatologist who told me I had arthritis and prescribed Ibuprofen 800mg X 3 daily. At the beginning it eased the pain, and as time passed the pain increased despite the pain pills so I began using a hot pack, which I heated up in the microwave 3-4 X daily. In April 2003 I came to se Dr. Nelson. After my first adjustment the pain went away, subsequently I gave up the pills and the hot pack. From time to time I would have pains but Dr. Nelson assured me that it was "healing pain" whereby the calcium in my shoulder was dissolving. I have made good progress, and presently am able to pull my sweatshirt over my head when I struggled to do it previously.
All during my care Dr. Nelson indicated that I have allergies, but as I get better the allergies would disappear. I have had allergy problems for many years. Several years ago I went to an allergist who diagnosed that I was allergic to dust mites, weeds and molds, and that I should take shots for my problem. I declined and told him I would take the conservative method. Last week I told Dr. Nelson that I was going to see my allergist to get another allergy test. Dr. Nelson said, "You don't have allergies any more." I kept my appointment with the allergist on October 2, 2003 and received the 59 scratch test on my back. To my surprise the entire test was negative.
I am very pleased with my progress for the short time I have been seeing Dr. Nelson One day, delighted with my progress at this Chiropractic office, I designed a graphic and wrote "Expect a miracle today." At the time I did the graphics, it was wishful thinking on my part. However, now I know the miracle that I wished for has come true. After years of suffering with allergies, that has disappeared. I am looking forward to regaining the full use of my shoulder soon.
