I’m not going to regurgitate what I’ve already posted re: the previous lower back issue around muscles in spasm. What I will point out is that more care should be used in prognosis when it does not follow diagnosis.
Huh? He said, “we don’t know what you did”. I typically would not tell a student, let alone someone on an Internet forum, anything regarding a spinal injury. Why? Two reasons. One the fear alone can do far more damage to the student than the actual injury and two, when we place such a thing “out there” it gathers a propensity to be a self fulfilling prophecy. Since the muscles around the spine are smooth and not striated they respond more to emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Some bright chap said ‘the thought manifests as the word…the word manifests as the deed…’
As I stated in another post here, the language of the student has to shift immediately. In fact it’s one of the primary responders and it’s easy, free, and right there in you. It’s not “killing” you but rather teaching you. The relationship with the dialogue of the dis-ease, the illness, the injury must be the sort of marriage that lasts a lifetime, not the sort that ends in divorce.
It is possible, though unlikely, that stepping in a hole would result in spinal injury. More likely, the femur slammed into the acetabulum and that might have aggravated a variety of muscles, might have shifted the pelvic girdle, might have subluxated a vertebra, might have jambed the sacroiliac joint. But these things can all be healed in a straight forward fashion.
If you are the sort who believes in chiropractic this is a good time to go. I do and I would. Once you get an idea of the “what” then we can provide a much better “how”.
Bad timing!!!
