Dang, Bob, sorry this is still going on.

I've seen several different chiropractors over the years, with results varying from pretty good to unbelieveably excellent. Some of the best have been the wackiest, if not the quackiest ~ i.e., new-age hippie types.

My favorite ever was a Vietnamese guy, Dr. Ky (pronounced "Kee") who was licensed in the US as a chiropractor but was "really" an acupressurist. That's right ~ not acupuncture, but acupressure. And he didn't really press very hard at all; he find the right spot on your body, just barely touch it, and fix you right up. Sadly, his ground-floor office took about ten feet of water thanks to the levee failures after Katrina, and he hasn't been seen since.

More recently, I've gotten very good results seeing a full-fledged needle-weilding acupuncturist, a young anglo-American woman. I had been walking around with a chronic sore shoulder for months, and three visits clearedit right up. It's been about a year now since my last treatment, with no recurrence. (Those tiny little ultra-thin needles, by the way, don't hurt at all going in.)

If I were you, I'd lay off that CNN and watch the old movie channel (TCM) and lots of sports. Reality sucks!
