I agree with Suze9395 and PastorPatti, see a chiropractor. When you call for an appointment, ask if he/she can do extremities. Some will only do the neck, back and breastbone and will often do the same adjustment regardless of your painful area. It is non-invasive and would be my first choice before pills and cutting.

I had trouble/pain in my jaw/ear (and chewing) and was told it was TMJ and would require surgery. My chiro put on a finger cot and adjusted my jaw, obviously with my mouth hanging wide open. Did he fix it, yes. He is my first choice of defense.

Recently, I was experiencing pain under my left rib cage. They medicals thought it was a kidney or spleen. My chiro said (over the phone) it was a floating rib, adjusted it myself and the pain is gone.

Guess I am just shy of the "pill pushers" and "cutters". Try alternative first. A good chiro will back out when he/she cannot help you.
