On Tuesday night I was horseback riding (my first mistake) and lost my stirrup and fell from a running horse. I had a bad concussion and was out for several minutes. I wound up in the ER and had 2 cat scans, they thought I had an injury to my neck. Well, I have been hurting pretty bad in my neck and back. I took a real hot bath last night and soaked in an Epsom Salts bath. Then I decided to place the pads higher on my foot than I had been. Thought that area needed some attention, so they were right under my toes. I woke up a couple of hours later and my big toe area was aching, stabbing pains at times. So this morning I looked up a chart for foot reflexology and low and behold that is the area for upper neck and cervical spine, which is right where I had most of my injuries. I plan to do it again tonight. I feel better today, don't think it is all pads related, because I am healing everyday and feel better everyday. I just thought it was interesting that the pads were darker in that area than the rest of the pad. I am drinking lots of water and plan to see my chiropractor on monday again. Boy was I hurting on Thursday when I saw him last. Any ideas to speed healing would be appreciated.
