Aches & Pains

My hips and lower back give me alot of pain these days. I get a sharp pinch sometimes when I try to bend over or change positions. I keep my snoogle pillow between my legs when I sleep, but apparently it's not enough to keep my hips aligned. When it gets bad I give my chiropractor a visit. He says the hormones designed to loosen my ligaments and joints for birth make it easier for my back to go out, and I shouldn't wait so long between visits if I'm in pain. His wife just had a little boy four months ago, and he had to adjust her frequently. It just gets expensive, and the adjustments don't hold very long right now. So I try to tough it out as long as I can, like when it starts to hurt from walking. It's started to affect my work at Ben Bridge. I can't lift the boxes of merchandise from the safe anymore, and it's really tough to get under-stock from low drawers or cabinets. I make sure to sit down frequently and not spend too much time bending over the cases. The other day I spent the morning redoing the window displays, and it completely wiped me out. I need to do something to boost my energy level.
