The day after hiking through Red Rock as a tourist I realized that I hurt myself. I thought I could live through the lower back pain and stiffness until around 4:15 on a Friday evening, right before the holiday, when I got the wake up call. The stiffness turned to inability to move and extreme pain, so I looked to trusty Yelp for an emergency solution. Dr. Badger's office was coming up as open until 6pm, so I called to beg for an appointment - I think they could hear the pain in my voice, because they ended up making room for me in the schedule and staying almost an hour late to accommodate me. I wish I lived here, because after my appointment I wanted to move the entire office to LA so I can make regular appointments. As we suspected, Dr. Badger wanted to take a quick x-ray to confirm his initial findings. I was so out of place I'm surprised that after my adjustment the stiffness had dissipated to a bearable level, although the pain is still about an 8/10. I have a follow up appt. next week where ONCE AGAIN Dr. Badger has fit me into his already booked schedule! Hopefully with his guidance and the second appointment, I'll be in a much better place next week.
