Oh my Aching Back

Last Thursday my back started killing me. I couldn't walk without getting a sharp pain and I'm all hunched over like an old lady. I have no idea how I did this to my back but it hurts like crazy. A girl I work with recommended her brother in law chiropractor so I made a visit on Monday. Apparently I have a condition known as sway back which means my spinal cord is curing in towards my belly button more than normal. During the visit I was iced down, stretched, and massaged and wow did it feel good. That night I felt wonderful and actually got a good night's sleep. Well yesterday, Tuesday, I went for my second visit. Did everything the same as Monday but was put in a massage chair for 10 minutes. Now today, my hip and leg are hurting so bad I get a stabbing pain when I walk and my back aches more than it has all week. I'm supposed to go back to the chiropractor on Thursday but I just don't know. I'm really considering just going to a "regular" doctor so I can get some lovely pain meds. Ouch!
