If it’s a disk injury (no way to know for certain, at least not without a very, VERY expensive MRI, but I’m thinking that’s a prime suspect given the symptoms) he can’t be adjusted – at least not until several weeks have passed. I am going to try to talk to his chiro after the weekend anyway and see if I can get him in somewhere for acupuncture.

He’s not acting painful – he’s acting very much like himself, though very put out at not being allowed to DO anything. And knock on wood no additional episodes. But his mid-lumbar region is definitely very sore on exam and was still sore when they re-examined him after 1 week of rest.
