back/neck problem

Posted by yshmaelle (344 days ago)

I had just given birth 3 months ago. Now that I have lost most of my pregnancy fats, I noticed this bulge, feels like a misplaced bone, at the back of my neck (the bottom bit between my shoulder blades). It didn't feel uncomfy at first, even thought it was just a muscle. But now it's starting to really bug me because aside from it being so unsightly, it's actually starting to feel a bit bruised and kind of gives a weird sensation on me back. And it seems like my head has gone forward...and of course, with the new baby, it's getting even worse...Is this going to be permanent? Which kind of doctor should I go to? A friend told me to go to a chiropractor...do you guys have any recommendations? I don't know anybody who is in this practise..

Do NOT go to a Chiropractor.

Please don't let anyone try any kind of manipulation/re-alignment prior to being clinicaly evaluated.

1. Go to a proper western qualified doctor.
2. Get referal to neuro or orthopaedic surgeon - there a good ones in HK

the worst people to deal with backs and necks are western medical doctors. The standard approach is NSAID and rest, and that is just wrong. A good chiropracter will assess properly. But yes, do get clinical correlation - start with a doctor who works with chiropracters.

yshmaelle,

Make sure you are well informed.

Western trained doctors are not the worst people to deal with backs and necks, but make your own decision.
