Continued from the yesterday’s work, I kept on practicing the speaking part of the 10-minutes presentation. I noticed that we need the constant practice in order to smoothly make a presentation speech.  

I was asked to create a 10-minutes presentation draft. It took almost all day for me to create the draft. Once it was done, I practiced to speak up many times. I think the draft was created nicely. I am satisfied with the result.

Now that I am almost free from sciatic pain, I went to our backyard garden to check the plants. I could harvest more large butter squashes, okras, kale leaves, salad leaves, and tomatoes. I noticed the squash plants are shrinking down and other plants such as okra and kabocha started getting healthily growing. I hope we will harvest more kabocha.

Thank God, I could sleep throughout night without waking up, and the great thing was I slept in bed not in a recliner. Sleeping in a recliner helped me to sleep through, but it came with uncomfortable back pain from the metal pipes attaching on my back. I am glad to be back to normal life to sleep in bed. Without the chiropractic treatments, I would have been suffering from the severe pain.

The chiropractor recommended me during the treatment session to sleep in a recliner so that the body weight won’t bother my right pelvis inflammation. So, I followed his advice and slept on a recliner.

The result was amazing. I didn’t wake up at all throughout the night. It was the very first night without any nerve pain after suffered from the sciatic pain in the middle of the night for 6 nights straight. I never thought of sleeping in a recliner. It is a great alternative option rather than suffering from pain in the night.

By the evening, the sciatica pain in the right side has almost gone. Instead, the left big toe started aching. But I don’t worry about it too much. I know I have been moving around too much recently. I should rest the foot without walking a lot or doing the dance exercise.  

Yesterday even though I had a chiropractic treatment, the pain was still there. I could not sleep until 5 a.m., which was awful. After just a 2-hour sleep, I asked my husband to come with me to the chiropractor’s office. Their office hours start from 8 am and we arrived there before 8 a.m. when we entered the office, the waiting room was already full of patients and I could hear the conversation between the chiropractor and a patient in the treatment room. Since it was a Friday morning and they close on 1:30 p.m. on Fridays, many of them feel the same way that they don’t want to suffer from pain during weekend when their office is closed.

When it came to my turn, I mentioned the chiropractor that the pain was still there and I could not sleep, he was not surprised. He said it usually takes one week for a sciatica pain goes away after a chiropractic treatment. When I was about to stand up from the chair to leave, he said he would fix my body again. This time he focused on my left side. It hurt when he pulled my left toes that were injured on this past July, but I intuitively my left toes needed to be fixed.

In the afternoon, the pain on my right side started calming down.    

I went to the chiropractic office in the morning. I never had a chiropractic treatment in America. I had it several times in Japan though. I felt scared to have a chiropract treatment so I asked my husband to come with me. We went to see the chiropractor whom my husband’s coworker recommended to us.

The chiropractor is young. Maybe he is in his early 30s, could be even in 20s.

He made my bone sound here and there of my entire body parts. The treatment itself was less than 5 minutes. Honestly though, right after the treatment the pain was still consistent.

After we went back home, we went to the big town for shopping. During walking and even in the evening, the pain was still there. And same as the previous nights, I could not sleep from pain and suffered for 3 hours or so, until I finally lost conscious and fell asleep around 4 a.m.  

Still suffering from sharp pain on the right hip nerve. The pain got extreme in the middle of the night. I could sleep for 2 hours or so, and woke up around after midnight from the sharp pain. From there, I could not sleep until 6 a.m. so that my sleep hours have been 3 to 4 hours for these past 5 days. I will go see a chiropractor tomorrow.

I am still suffering from the right hip nerve pain. My husband mentioned about his coworker who had suffered from severe backpain for months. He finally went to see a chiropractor and the severe pain went away with just one session. I think I should try the chiropractor.

Last night I woke up from the sharp pain in my right hip. I think my symptom is called sciatica. The pain is too much to keep sitting on the chair and studying. I gave up studying in the evening and went to bed at 7 p.m. I watched some movies and shows and fell asleep around 9 p.m. Then I woke up from the sharp pain around 1 a.m. I had suffered from pain for 3 hours or so. I prayed, took some homeopathy remedies, did a red light therapy, and even did some stretching exercise. None of them helped to calm down the pain. Thankfully I fell asleep after 4 a.m, until 7 a.m. I wish I will find out the solution to make this pain to calm down, so that I can focus on whatever I want.
