pain in my leg

[The People]

Hi Mosaic. A couple of things from my perspective/experience.
1) We have found physiotherapists to be more knowledgeable than chiropractors.
2) We had chronic lower back pain for years until we discovered yoga. There is the option of trying it at home with a video but the issue there (as pointed out by my former physio) is that one does not have someone to do corrections that are needed at the beginning. If you decide to try this route (can be scary) I would get a few recommendations from people who are on the yoga train and start with a beginner hatha class. If you try one and don't feel comfortable with it please don't give up. Took 3 locations before I found one that was a good fit for me.
3) Are you on meds now? I am in the process of going off meds because of chronic leg cramps. I figured it out on my own after days of not being able to stretch without cramping.
4) Another alternative medicine is acupuncture. Many people are terrified of this as they think the needles are like the 3 foot long ones they show on television. They are actually very fine, rarely felt going in unless they hit a blocked channel, and a good practitioner would be able to identify the channels. A good side effect of this treatment is that it can bring about a good measure of calm. I had the good fortune of being a guinea pig for a woman who was learning. I just had to pay for the needles. Wonderful stuff.
