Wow! 4 months old! What do they do to you when you're 4 months old? 
I'm definitely going to ask those people from work to get some advice. It seems like it is hit or miss the same as finding a good any-kind of doctor.
I guess maybe I should give more info to see if a chiropractor is what I really need. Ever since I was about 15 or so, I have this weird feeling in my left side, like at the bottom of my ribs. It's really hard to describe. It's never hurt, just more annoying than anything else. It just always feels not quite numb, but uncomfortable.  I've never been able to properly describe it to the doctor. Actually, I'm so pathetic with going to the doctor, I never even told one until last year.  Yes, IBS brought me out of my doc phobia. I've told 2 different docs (my GI & my new primary), and they both think it's nothing major. The GI suggested I could get X-rays (obviously, this isn't his area, which I understand, but he felt around my side anyway), and the new doc felt around also, and neither of them felt anything unusual. They both seem to think it's something like a pinched nerve, or my primary even thought it could be my posture, because sometimes if I move in different positions, it feels less uncomfortable. Or sometimes if I push on my back just the right way around the bottom of my rib cage, it feels slightly "relieved" or less uncomfortable, I guess is how I'd describe it. It's definitely feels like it's in the ribs, not something underneath. I do know that my new primary said he's heard of this in other patients.
Anyway, I guess I thought maybe a chiropractor may know more about this. Do you think I'm thinking in the wrong direction?
I'm sorry this is really not IBS-related. Although, sometimes if I'm bloated from IBS, it feels a little more uncomfortable.  I just have no idea where else to get advice from, and I've noticed some people on the boards do go, so I'd thought I'd ask. Plus, I really was curious if it could help IBS.
Either way I may have to go now just for that hydro-bed...that sounds great!
