Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hi Hilary, I had a lot of problems with opoening, at 8 weeks I was only at 12mm. this was complicated by a dislocated cartiledge. My OS gave a device called a therabite. it worked wonders. you can see it at www.therabite.com ask your Dr. about it I think your doctor has to order it for you if he/she agrees that it will help you. But it really worked well for me. of course each case is different but it may work fo ryou too.
