Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 >>>>could it be the ileo-cecal (sp?) valve? louise I've tried massaging the colon to unstick the valve/colon (if that's what it is). My natural health doc also pressed around pretty hard to loosen it up. It hasn't helped. I feel no lumps in the colon where the pain is. I know that I do feel better when I eat an alkaline diet. That's one reason I'm jazzed to do a cleanse ASAP. (But I'm nursing...) I'm wondering if there's a partial cleanse regime for nursing moms (I've checked the archives but didn't see anything.) An aquaintance told me it must be my bladder since I also have radiating hip/upper leg pain. She said the pregnancy could have bruised my bladder (I had a punching *and* kicking baby boy), but it's been 20 months. It seems like that would have recovered by now... any thoughts on this? Anyway, thanks for your reply, Louise. I appreciate any thoughts on my issues. Thanks for your time, jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Jill, I'm inclined to suggest a massage. A good bodyworker should be able to figure out where the issue is, and offer relief. Mine has done absolute wonders for myself and my husband. Another thought is a chiropractor. You may have a "chi blockage", or rather an area where you're *out* and causing energy disruption in a median. (I'm not talking hokey new age stuff here, but how the body operates- just to be clear.) Bodyworkers are worth every penny in my opinion, and I highly recommend a weekly massage! -Raine Jill Reed Howerter wrote: <snip> An aquaintance told me it must be my bladder since I also have radiating hip/upper leg pain.

My natural health doc, also a kinesiologist/chiropractor works on me about once a month (my hips/lower back, mostly,) with super results. Just no luck with the abdominal pains. He mentioned a massage, and I just haven't done it due to time and $$. He has a deep tissue guy in his office he recommended. I think I'll make it a priority. I'd also like to get some acupucture done to get the energies flowing. I appreciate your ideas, and more are welcome. I'm ready to tackle this head-on, and I just can't wait to get started on my cleanse when the baby is weaned (4-6 months away, probably.) I guess I have some time to prepare. My hubby is going to do it with me because he is tired of being overweight and unhealthy. My way of handling health issues has rubbed off on him! He now does herbals instead of antibiotics! Thanks everyone for your time. I love this group! It's nice to know so many people with the same ideals in healthcare... jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 my mom had a total hysterectomy in her 30's but I believe in her 40's found out she had a bad curve of her spin that caused the pains she was having and if she had just gone to a chiro earlier I might have had a younger brother or sister ( well dad had something done but anyway LOL). just food for thought.
