Inevitable Setback

Isn't it usually true that when you are trying to make changes for good in your life, things always happen to de-motivate, discourage, and generally put a damper on your plans? It shouldn't surprise me, then, that I am experiencing one of the first hurdles in my C25K journey...but it's still a bummer!

I have been having numbness in my left leg for about 3 weeks now. I'm sure it is a pinched nerve and I keep hoping it will resolve on it's own. I did get 4 successful training sessions in before the discomfort level got too high for me to continue, but the time has come for me to seek professional intervention! My problem is that I never know who to go to...this is my nightmare: I go to my family doctor and he says, Hmmm...maybe you should go to PT, I go to the PT and they tell me I need to see a Chiropractor, I see the Chiro guy and he tells me I have to come back every week for the next millennium. Money, time and no results! I want to just go to the place that will fix me... I know I'm a whiner baby...I've had too many bad experiences for this to be an easy thing. But, it is what it is and I have to do it.  This is why I began my weight loss journey in the first place....so I can be a more active, more fit person! I can't give up now that I've come so far!

I'm hoping to see someone tomorrow! I'll post when I have more news.

Do you have a NUCCA Chiropractor in your area? Check out NUCCA.com by googling to know how very gentle, different, and effective it is. Please don't have surgery until you try that.

I had two herniated discs and had sciatic pain so bad that I couldn't sit longer than a minute or two at a time. I could lay down and be okay or stand for a little while, but sitting was excruciating. The doctor who diagnosed me wanted to do all kinds of invasive stuff. But I held out (Oh was he arrogantly outraged) and finally learned about Nucca Chiropractic. It saved me.

By the way, I did have to go for a few months to the Chiro, but I knew there was an end in sight. I also felt better and better during this time.

I've been checking here every day to see how you are doing. Just know that I am praying for you.

Warmly,
Gloria

I am a total stranger and I was reading info on the hcg diet. Your blog came up and I have been browsing through it. When I read this post, I thought I have to tell her to find a NUCCA Chiropractor, but I hesitated because I am a complete stranger. I looked around your blog a little longer and when I was about to exit your blog I felt like I should go ahead and comment and suggest a NUCCA Chiropractor to you.

I couldn't believe it when I read Gloria's comment. If you haven't already, please please please go see a NUCCA Chiropractor. I had a horrible pain in my right hip for years that came during my 4th pregnancy, but never went away. I couldn't sit in Indian style, I couldn't sit on the floor for anything because the pain was so bad. I went to 3 different chiropractors over the next 3 years. My Dr. didn't have any suggestions either. It was horrible. It made me feel like I was 90 years old. Anyway, someone finally suggested a NUCCA Chiropractor to me. I went and it was the best thing ever. I was finally cured of my hip pain after all those years. It is AMAZING! We moved to Alaska and we still go see our NUCCA Chiropractor once a year in Las Vegas.

Good Luck and thanks for the info on the hcg diet.
