I had to look this up. Honestly, I think that the connective tissue is my problem as the ortho surgeon(s) have said there's nothing wrong with my bone structure, but also said they have no idea what's wrong. Same same with the pain management specialist, he is just out to treat my symptoms (something an earlier poster said was an issue with chiropractors).

I honestly think there's a lot of types of medicine out there that work for people, even the "pseudoscience" or "new-age" ones. No one should put their lives in the hands of medicine that has no scientific basis (ie if you have terminal cancer), but when it comes to chronic pain and other non-urgent but life-impacting ailments, as long as you do your homework as to who you're seeing and the potential risks of treatment, it's your choice. I get that people had bad experiences (proposing chiropractic can cure kidney failure), but if you've tried the "scientific" avenues (even going to multiple doctors), and no one can give you relief, you have to look elsewhere.
