Hi Buzzy! We remember you and Sweetpea fondly from Eric and Anne's playgroup. You didn't mention how it's known that Sweetpea hurt her neck, as opposed to a shoulder or something else. How'd you figure it out?
You're right that something might be wrong that x-ray doesn't show or doesn't show well. I don't want to make this about us, but we just had an MRI on Shane that showed a "healed" but still problematic injury to his pelvis, while the earlier x-rays didn't show that it was a problem. He's about to start rehab, using hydrotherapy, massage and range of motion work. But for the last two years acupuncture and chiro adjustments have gotten him through, from a practitioner that comes up to Kent every two weeks. That's as far north as she goes, I'm afraid, but she's really good and less expensive than most, I'm told ($65). They're having a "sale" on MRI's in Tacoma, in honor of their new neurologist; let me know if you want to know more.
I'm so sorry that Missy Sweetpea is having trouble. Not to mention what the prednisone and 18 outs per day did to you! Wishing you both relief now and in the New Year!
