It's not yet two weeks out from the fifth treatment, but I'm really feeling better. I think a lot of the discomfort I was experiencing was stemming from the damage to my rib cage. It's also pretty amazing how much my shoulder has changed after just one treatment to the shoulder capsule.
I don't know why, but Dr. Fullerton kind of ignored the shoulder capsule this time, even though I was pretty certain I could use another treatment. He asked of I could hold a plank now, and I said something like, "Maybe??" I didn't really know how to respond because I haven't tried doing a plank/push up since the last treatment. ...I now realize that I should've simply said that, but for some reason I felt nervous and just didn't know what to say.
I'm still pretty impressed with how much more I can decompress my left ear now. It's pretty much identical to the right ear. Also I haven't felt as near as much need now to try to crack my neck, so that is obviously a good thing.
I still feel the need to try to roll out some areas in my upper back, like where the upper trap attaches to the shoulder blade, I think? One of the hardest things about this whole process is that because it's my back, I can't easily point to it. Like I can only approximate the location. I think next time I will have to roll out and then turn around and show him where my skin is red.
I've really been tempted to go early this January and get a treatment just for my hips, but I think I will probably just wait it out for the next time. ...if my shoulder/back is still giving my trouble I will book two sessions a week apart, and go from there. So I guess I'm betting that I will need a sixth treatment on my back. ...That's kind of sad, but I keep getting so much better after each session.
We will see; we will see.
