I saw my chiro today and mentioned the wrist thing. She
pointed out the visible swelling, which I hadn't noticed.
She and her husband (both chiros) popped some stuff, gave me
their take on what was causing the problem, and recommended
some stretches and things to avoid.

I figure I'll try their suggestions for a while and see
if it works.

They usually just do my back, unless I mention a specific
problem, but the depth and breadth of knowledge they have
amazes me, and they're always very ready to lend a hand.

today I asked for the full meal deal, as I hadn't been
adjusted in some time and my right terres minor was starting
to spasm ( muscle under the scapula) Plus, my elbow has been
messed up ever since I landed on it a few months ago, and I
rolled over my ankle a few weeks ago. Pelvis, both wrist,
both elbows, ankles and of course neck, thoracic region and
lumbar regions. Ahhh, much better

If I knew what a scapula was, then maybe I could picture the
muscle under it =P

Shoulder blade. Susie has problems with this spasming too.
Any stretches that work Penny?
