Flash has had two sessions of Bowen therapy and acupuncture and one of chiropractic. Although they definitely make him feel better, it appears that they only release the muscle tension but don't actually address the underlying pain. Releasing the muscle tension is of course important (I know that from myself), but it's not enough for him as he is still uncomfortable, has shortened his stride again (so is more tense again) and just isn't as happy as he should be.
So I am booking him in for another trip to the vet to a) discuss painkilling/anti-inflammatory medication (e.g Tramadol) and b) to re-run his thyroid test as he was borderline last time.
If he has to go on pain medication permanently, then so be it. I want him to be comfortable and enjoy life, not be tense all the time because he is hurting.
