I usually agree to help everyone. However, I don’t know think chiropractic is a place to start considering you have a systemic problem. I am not real familiar with the systems in place for veterans. I would think someone there would understand how to get you the care you need. I’m under the impression that there are patient advocates. I would start there, otherwise a private clinic that takes self pay. You need a caring primary care who is willing to go the extra mile to help. I know it is hard to get help when your symptoms are not simple or straightforward. This is your health, and there are too many caring providers to give up. Keep pushing to get answers and treatment.

It depends on what is causing it. With a thorough exam, we could understand the cause. Sleeping postures, work repetitive motions, electrolyte imbalances, too many things could be contributing to say without a visit too give you a cause. An office visit with a skill practitioner may give some answers.

Consider finding a primary care physician who is caring. They can rule out any major problems, and refer you to a professional who can help if chiropractic hasn’t helped. I’m not sure that my advice would be significantly different. You deserve a diagnosis with a plan to correct the problem.

Not a good idea to give advice on at-home treatment without professional help. See a skilled practitioner for exam and evaluation. You can learn a lot about what your issues are contributing to with an exam and consultation.

It’s impossible to answer without an exam. Have a professional take a look. It could be caused by lower back or hip dysfunction. You are young and getting an evaluation and possibly treatment where warranted can give some answers and help to correct and heal the problem.

I’m a chiropractor, I would suggest you talk to your surgeon about this. Best of luck to you, and hopefully better times are on the horizon for you!

I’m not aware of this as a side affect. But a spinal orthopedic who be able to answer all of the questions about surgery. Being a chiropractor, I’m not the best person to ask about this.
