From Chicken Butt to Sticky Butt

I have been going to the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine's acupuncture clinic for a year now since my body is just whacked after Katie was born. It's a teaching clinic so there are always 4 students in the room with the practitioner. I go just about every other week and have been going to the same practitioner since last summer. In one of my sessions he said I have a Chicken Butt and need to work on it. I've been doing yoga regularly for a few months and it has reduce the flailing out of my Chicken Butt. Every few months I ask him if he thinks I'm a crazy hypochondriac but he always reassures me that my pain issues in my neck and sacrum are real.

I went to clinic today and did ask him if he thought I was crazy and he said no. Yippie! My ailment this week was a nasty hamstring pull that I did over a week ago and causes me much pain sitting. So as he was feeling around my saddlebags for a good spot to poke me with a needle he told the students that this area was feeling "sticky" and so you need to be careful the needle goes in the right spot. I immediately started chuckling to myself. Once he was finished putting in the needles, I annouced to the group that I went from Chicken Butt to Sticky Butt. The students laughed and I had a good chuckle but the practitioner just grunted at my joke. So was he really telling me the truth when he said he didn't think I was crazy?
