Hang in there Beth! Mine was so bad last week they let me do like 5 reps of one exercise and then gave up in favor if ultrasound, ice and electrical stimulation.... This stinks.

I had an AHA! moment the other day...My leg was "wobbling" a bit more than normal on friday & realized I must do the 1hr of leg strengthening exercises each day! I wasn't home Thursday night to do them and one wobble on fri actually kind of hurt.

Just one of many AHA"s this week..

I walked into my daughter's open cabinet door with my bad arm and almost vomited. Duh!!!

It does seem to hurt less - you guys aren't exactly making PT seem a lot of fun, though... Something to look forward to.

I loved PT - of course, I was getting stretched and massaged the whole time. I had my first acupucture session, it seemed to help a bit, at least for a few days. Maybe if I keep it up the inflammation will go away permanently. N also wants to have a hair analysis done. I'll do it, for sh!ts and giggles, I'm not sure how much stock I put in it though.

My new fancy $200 Roller Mouse arrived yesterday. It was not the hand/wrist savior I thought it would be. I'll keep using it, maybe it's something I need to get used to.

PT can be a lot of fun really.

it just depends on how much you're into S&M

DO TELL
and the favorite phrase is "Here, let me help you" followed by me, "NOOO!!! STAY AWAY!!! I CAN DO THIS MYSELF!!!"

I still like them though.

speaking of which, I started my swim class to help with my flexibility and for my back. Now my right shoulder is hurting like %^$^ oui oui oui!!!
feels like its in my rotator. Can't even lie on my right side. Well sort of expect it with broken collar bone around '91 and separated the shoulder back in '74?? Its coming back to haunt me. And my left is slightly better. Broke my collar bone on the left side too '02. I've been told the bones will be stronger than the original. I WOULD HOPE SO!!!

now that its sunny outside, I think I'm going rididng.

No kidding. Try deep tissue massage of the glutes over busted SI ligaments. I almost hauled off and slugged him, but I was too busy doing Lamaze breathing: HEE HEE HEE HOO.

No prolotherapy, I got corticosteroids. Insurance doesn't cover prolo, even though it makes more sense, prolo builds tissue while the steroids can break it down.

I am not into NSAIDS. I prefer Omega 3 to help the body with its natural antinflammatory abilities. Flax seed or fish oil at 3x what is recommended- so about 1000mg. Wash it all down with four ounces of pomegranate juice, or a nice red zinfandel.
