The hip bone's connected to the.... JAW BONE?

So I pulled out my hip. Or I have a herniated disc. Or sciatic nerve problems. Or I'm just really tense.

Basically they don't know, but I have been on a lot of drugs and had to miss clinic last week and spent Wednesday in Student Health Services crying while the nurses checked in on me.

Yes, I am a baby.

But the good news is they set me up with this chriropracter who totally realigned me in a sum total of 15 minutes. Seriously. And he did it by pulling on my jaw.

It was quite possibly the strangest experience I have ever had. I went in there and he goes, "do you have tension in your right jaw?" and of course I do because I have tension everywhere. So then he proceeds to pull on my left leg (where it hurts), put his fingers in my mouth and pull on my face, and then pull my leg again. This time, the leg shifted back into my hip. WTF? You had to be there to see it, I guess, because you're probably thinking to yourself right now... What a quack this guy is, and if she believes him I never want her to be my nurse.

But it worked, I swear.

But I still can't sit for too long in class. The only position that is comfortable right now is laying down with my left leg bent up.

OYYYYYYYYYYYYY. My body is a mess of a beast of a thing.
