Relationship with chiropractor is really confusing me

(2 discussions)

This may be a strange question, and I doubt it’s been asked before, so here goes:I have had chronic pain for 15 years in my back and neck, and started going to a chiropractor about 3 months ago. The results have been amazing, and I feel like a brand new person with a new lease on life. I’m able to work out, do sports that used to cause pain, etc…. I am sad that I never tried this years ago and feel I wasted away my twenties. But there is a problem, at least I think it is. I feel like I’ve fallen for my Doctor! I’ve been married for 13 years and nobody has ever caught my interest until now. I think about him constantly, I buy clothes for my appointments, I flirt with him, I feel like a teenager again. When I get to his office I feel sick in my stomach and all anxious to see him, I basically feel like a fool! I actually got the nerve up to tell his partner (who is his father) and he said it’s normal to “bond” with a Dr when you spend so much time together. But this feels way more like gratitude because he’s helped me so much. We have tons in common, and we get along like we’ve been friends for years. And I feel like he feels the same, but he’s trying to hide it for professional reasons.Then I read somewhere on his web site that when you go through treatment, it’s normal to suddenly feel more in touch with your feelings/needs and be aware of your relationships to other people. I am so confused. Please let me know if you’ve ever heard of a situation like this before.And no, I can’t switch Dr’s, I’d be devastated if I couldn’t see him anymore.

Pain in Rib area

(4 discussions)

Hi, I have a question. Last Sunday we were eating at my house and I started choking on a piece of cole. My friend thought it was a piece of meat and tried to do the Hemlich manauever and grabbed me really hard and squeezed me. Afterwards I have been having pain under the breast area. It seemed to go away but then returns. What can this ne signs of? A fractured rib or a bruised rib? What should I do? Thanks
