Re: Physical Therapy, and other things

Thank you once again!

I have been dealing with this for 16 months now. Every morning I

wake and have to ascess my condition for the day, which will almost

always get worse.

I woke once to no pain, about 11 months into my recovery and wept,

because I had no pain. I didn't know what to do! the pains came back

by noon.

I drop things frequently now, they just fall out of my hands! I

believe this is do to nerve damage.

I have had my SI go out to the point that I fall to the ground and

can't move my left leg at all. A complete temporary parallists if you

will. It lasted about 10-15 minutes then would just turn into the

shooting pain down my leg.

I would love to try accupucture but simply can't afford it at this

point. I am self employed and this has ruined me finacially.

I did see a physical therapist which gave me exercises to do at home.

I was very deligent in doing them for many months but have recently

given up on them.

I believe that my size may bias the therapist and doctors against me.

I am very tall and appear to be in great shape. I have lost over 40 pounds in

the past 16 months and never find myself hungery.

I do see a osteopath once a week, he is remarkable! He told me that

he will get his money from the insurance company and does not demand

payment. Once again thank you for all of your advise, and support, .

Hi Lyndi ! and thanks for the response.

Those few times I fell, was from my lumbar going out so badly that my left leg

would just stop working all together. I wouldn't feel a thing just boom! It

luckily only lasted 10 minutes or so, then I would get the surging pains and be

able to move it again.

My osteopath starts at my feet and staightens my whole body every week. It is

useally a painful process but pays off afterward! He has gotten rid of the

relentless mid-back and neck and headache I had continuesly for the first 11

months or so. Now those pains just come and go with all the others.

I do hope your situation improves and many blessings,

.
