- Tuesday I went to my pain management doctor. I don't really like him. He spends the shortest time possible with me and rushes out. But I don't want to alienate him because he prescribes my pain medication. So this appointment he had a few extra...
- Well, I have tried a few new treatments since I last wrote here--myofascial release, a bit of dry needling--but I thought I would post about them one by one to avoid it getting too mixed up. But first I want to post about my latest experience...
- http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/more-evidence-against-vitamin-use/?ref=healthI have to run out the door to work but I just saw this. I will read it more carefully later. The one thing that jumped out at me was:The findings translate to a...
- I have an awful cold. It is going around. My son had it too, on the opposite coast! The first day it was like the flu--lots of body aches. So added to my usual body aches, it was body aches X 2. I tried to walk a little outside each day. But...
- It has been bothering me for awhile: a small spot just to the left of the middle of my shin bone and pain in the top of the toe on that leg when I walk. I opened the Clair Davies book and looked at all the muscles in the lower leg and massaged...
- Something happened. I don't know what it was, but I immediately felt like something had improved.I am starting a new thread in response to all the kind responses to my comment on the "New Website" thread about how I was afraid to do the exercises...
- That is how I feel right now. I have been so over-extending myself for the last week +. I have moved back to Manhattan and am moving to my second rental today, because my first one did not work out. Then there was Hurricane Irene. I had to...
- Sometimes it seems that the more trigger point work I do on myself the more pain I feel. I have been concentrating a lot on my intercostal (rib) and pectoral (chest) muscles lately. Maybe because of this, or for another reason, a few days ago I...
- OW. Not a happy camper here. So much sucks in my life right now. First I am staying in this cute little studio in the hills, but it seems to be toxic for me. I thought it might be mold, and one doctor agrees. Or it just could be that the place...
- I love 'em.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exGJsv6ZNloNo, I mean hot tub jets. I found this spa here in Berkeley where you can pay $15 (senior price) for an hour in a hot tub with jets. I went yesterday, and put every place that hurts up to the...
- I haz it. It hit when I returned from Europe. I did not get an upgrade to business class, so was wedged in a middle seat trying to sleep. Then the new place I have subletted has a bed with a mattress as hard as a rock. Everyplace on my body...
- is not easy. I am on the road right now, touring in Germany. I came because my father, who lives here, is not well. He has Parkinson's and his condition is deteriorating. That is stressful. Plus I am communicating with my sisters via email...
- on my left SI joint and a ligament in my back attaching a rib to my spine. It was not a pleasant experience. It was my "good" doctor who I really trust; that made it better. I had a bad experience once with an orthopedist jamming huge needles in...
- I want to tap into your collective wisdom. So I am having worse pain than I have ever had since I started addressing my trigger points. It is like I have a thousand of them all over my body screaming "me, me, I hurt too."Is it from getting...
- My left one. I went to see my good doctor yesterday and he did a lot of work on me. He always plans to do some injections, but then we get to talking about my underlying problems and the hour gets used up. So I showed him my X-rays, and instead...
