Were you able to fix it? How? What was the dx?

[@ChiropractorEdmond]

Hey Kim, yes ma'am! I'm happy to report that he was fixed with an HVLA Gonstead adjustment in the side lying position. His Dx was a swollen L5 joint with retrolisthesis aka subluxation. There are lot's of videos out there on Gonstead adjustments that demonstrate the correction.

@@ChiropractorEdmond I am 20 years and and have had pitted edema for quite some time. I went the the doctor about it a year ago to get checked for blood clots but, they said there weren't any. Now in 2019 I am experiencing the same situation and it's gotten worse in my left leg. I've been experiencing what feels like my heart is being pulled out each day for two weeks straight. What are your recommendations for this issue? Thanks in advance.

@@ANeal360 How are you? What did the doctors tell you? I've been experiencing stage 2 edema and I'm about to see another doctor since my primary doctor frankly isn't doing a thorough enough job. In the past two weeks, I've noticed the circulation in my legs is poor. My feet begin to turn purple after sitting upright after a mere few minutes. I'm freaking out thinking that it's congestive heart failure.
