Chiro thinks I may have a ligament issue. Also, the heat map of my back is all kinds of fascinating. And my scoliosis may be torsional more than lateral.

Someone I know died recently due to trusting a chiro to handle a serious chronic pain problem. She had undiagnosed breast cancer.

Everything you said in your last post reminded me of my ex-gf, who developed arthritis in her early 20s and has joints that constantly dislocate - her diagnosis is Hypermobility Syndrome.
