- Not a happy camper today. First, I cannot seem to post here without multiple posts showing up. I am trying starting a new thread, to see if that works w/o doubling. (If duplicate threads show up, my bad, sorry.)More important I have this severe...
- It arrived last night. The package was small and I thought, is this all? But it turned out to be long enough. I am not that wide! So far I have just used it for my upper back and my left side. It even works well on my pectoral muscles. I have...
- So I went to my first Feldenkrais class yesterday evening. We lay on the floor and moved our knees and our arms up and down. It hurt lying on my side on my hips. Afterwards I didn't feel worse, but felt a little more pain. Today I am pretty much...
- I know some of you have recommended some. But I am too lazy to search the threads (hangs head). So I want something that I can use on my IT band especially. I assume it should be pretty big and heavy duty.Thanks for any suggestions.
- I had a certificate to get a month of them for free. I asked if I could trade it in for one private session. She said no, but then no one else came to the class, so it was one on one. The machines were pretty neat. I kept reducing the...
- So I went to see my only doctor who really understands my condition yesterday. He did a lot of poking and prodding and told me that my sacrum is now stable. The prolotherapy injections he did in my right sacroilliac ligaments really worked. I...
- So I was just reading in the NY Times about terrible side effects from antibiotics like Cipro and Levaquin. I had heard scare stories about Levaquin before. It has a bad effect on your tendons. As far as I know I have never taken it, definitely...
- since I started myofascial release therapy and Watsu. Really. I used to be 5'8". Then I shrank to 5'7", 5'7 1/4" on a good day. When I went to see my new pain management doctor they weighed (eek) and measured me. They jammed that metal tongue...
- That is what I hope this is. In the last week the pain has really ramped up. Yesterday standing in my aunt's patio at dusk I felt a pain in my inner left thigh, a really sharp superficial pain. I went home and massaged and massaged it. I think...
- Hello, everyone. I have been on vacation at this wonderful place seeing old friends I really love. Great, huh? But then comes the re-entry. I am really an introvert so require a lot of time alone, especially after a lot of social activity. But...
- So I noticed that I had a particular sore spot on the front/side of my left shin, around an inch below the knee cap. I could feel it. It was all puffy and sore, around an inch long and 2 inches high. When I massaged my knee cap I could feel these...
- So in this small town I have moved to I have found this woman who does Watsu (portmanteau word from water + shiatsu). She does it in this heated above ground pool in her back yard. Basically you relax, which is easy in the warm water, and she...
- It started the night before last night when I was in bed--feeling dizzy. Then yesterday after I did my stretching exercises on the bed I hopped up the way I usually do--and almost fell over! I had never experienced this before, so I was a little...
- So I was clicking around on the internet, trying to find some page that would explain SI joint dysfunction to me and I found this site that talked about how walking with your pelvis tipped down could be the problem leading to it. It said, imagine...
- I have had good news on the myofascial release front. The before and after pictures my physical therapist took show that I stand so much straighter now. The muscles on my abdomen don't look so strained. But all the rearranging has had an...
