I don’t know what I’ve said or done that leaves you so perplexed. I know what I’ve been told by multiple drs who understand the situation. You’ve already made it clear that you disagree/don’t believe...
Seashell Did you have similar problems healing due to your MCTD? I know it affects each of us differently, but it appears to be hampering my progress to the point where it seems that I’m going...
This is a pretty old thread so you’d get more responses if you start a new thread introducing yourself. There are a few of us who have had this problem. I had what was supposed to be a simple surgery...
I have and they both freak me out. This summer was just sooooooo bad, and I can see how this has happened. Part of me just wants to wait and see what happens, but I also understand the urgency of...
I'll be honest, I assumed that was what the word meant. I know I have the hernia and that was a word I haven't seen before:) I have a super strong binder that I've been wearing. I call it my medieval...
I'm glad that you got the Tramadol. I hate that you are the one who has to shovel. Hopefully the different methods will help you find some relief. I'm lucky to have a teenager to chuck outside with a...
Hello all :) I'm really really struggling right now. I get up an hour before I wake up Nate, so I can take a very hot long bath. The hope is that it will loosen my muscles and joints a teeny tiny bit...
Don't give up-That's not allowed :) Other than waiting for a tax refund to deposit into your account, few things are slower than waiting for your body to heal. Add the stress of not knowing the...
I've been receiving trigger point injections for years, but dry needling has been much more helpful with my headaches. My TMJs were fusing together, so the joints and much of the jaw itself, have...
I’m so sorry that you are stuck in this situation. Unfortunately, regardless of courses, a chiropractor doesn’t have the same weight as a Dr. It royally sucks, but it’s the way it is. With the...
I drive 3hrs to Duke, but it's worth it. I usually go down the night before and stay in a hotel to help break up the drive. The drive is painful, but correct treatment might help prevent the pain in...
I find heat to be the most helpful. I take a hot bath nightly to help with the joints before bed. I'm a klutz, too. Gravity and I are constantly in a fight, and as of now, gravity has always won....
Have you had any type of motility testing? One that I had was a gastric emptying study. I ate radioactive scrambled eggs(yum-not), and scans were done over 4hrs to see if motility was an issue. There...
Yes-scar tissue can hurt. I'm so sorry you had such an awful accident. I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt. Was any work done on the scar to help reduce the tightness and help in...
Don't go crazy with those new wheels! I tell Nate that when he gets his license, people should watch out on the sidewalks, because there's no way the kid will stay on the road. Should we warn your...
