So in June of 2007 I cut back my hours behind the stylist chair for a more body friendly job. Sitting behind a desk. I started to work part time at a attorney services company. I love this job, so much that by October of that year I was begging to have a full time position and they gave it to me. Shortly after going full time I had a set back having to do with the stress of my son going into the Army and possible deployment to Iraq. The stress had cause me to experience such sever pain in my lower back and hips that I was walking with a cane for a couple of weeks. I finally got relief for ibuprofen and Soma. They worked wonders but I had to get to the bottom of why I was now having the hip pain. I saw a chiropractor and received a few adjustment when it was discovered that my hips were out of alignment. Think, Think, Think what could be causing this to happen. Yes I know that I have Fibro...I was not ignoring that fact, but how did my hips become so far out of whack. I only thing I could think of causing it was my bed. Now my mattress was only about 4 years old so could it be the culprit? With much prodding on my part and the fact that it was tax season, I convinced my husband to let "us" get a new bed The bed I wanted to try was a memory foam mattress, no springs and no wood. After I tried it out in the showroom for about 30 minutes I was willing to give it a try. Now I bought a knockoff but I do not know if there would have been a difference except for the price. We paid about $800 for bed, box spring and frame. From the moment I started sleep on it I know that this was the best $800 we ever spent. Within a week my hip pain has dissipated. What a happy girl I am!! Now these mattress are not for everyone. I tend to like a really firm mattress so I has been a god send for me but hubby on the other hand hates it. Remember "The Princess and the Pea"? I think that is him.
