Well, after the great breakthrough last week, I was so busy this weekend I didn't keep up all my exercises and stretching and didn't get on the bike at all......
Meg, What does the surgeon say about your ROM? I know when I got stuck at 90 degrees they became more concerned after ?? weeks. I had to go into surgery for...
Okay, here is where you need to get osteopathic. Listen to your body, and this includes your mental well being. You yourself need to decide what is best for...
Even at my worst point, I never missed a day of work. I knew I would get depressed at home. So I would go to work and take 5 minute breaks in the middle of...
My OS saw me at 6 weeks, and I had less than 90 'free' ROM... the PT could put force on it and get it to about 92, but OS was looking for what I could bend it...
Oh, I'm nowhere near cardio on the bike yet... it's still mainly for stretching the joint. They have me doing 15 minutes every time I go to PT, and I just...
Sorry that you've gone one step back. I'm hoping (and thinking) it's temporary, but I know it's frustrating when you're not sure whether your hard work is...
Hi! Someone just posted that Dr. Feinberg from HSS sent him/her (??) to a good PT person. I was not wild about Dr. Feinberg (too quick to say get a cortisone...
So I had my second osteopath appointment yesterday, this time he did prolotherapy in and around my knees. (Last time he treated my arch and did trigger point...
Great Heather. So glad you like him. Definitely expect to be sore for a few days after prolotherapy treatments while the solution does its work. Don't rush...
maryanne, dr feinberg sent me to pt years ago in 2004 or 2003. the PT was named Betty. she worked at the HSS. she helped me with some exercises that reduced...
Thank you so much for responding. It's hard to find really good PT people. I think I will go to HSS. Thanks again! Maryanne **************Planning your summer...
I'm trying not to overdo it, but I want to get back to exercising my legs. I guess it's a fine line between doing to little or too much. I still can't use the...
Heather: Definitely a fine line, but always better to be too cautious than too aggressive. The soreness will fade, but it may stay just the tiniest bit sore...
betty worked well for me at the HSS. she didnt eliminate the pain, she helped to reduce it by showing me some excercises that strengthen the muscles and take...
Thanks. A reduction in pain would be fine by me! In a message dated 4/7/2008 8:46:07 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ahuriman@... writes: betty worked well...
Hi there! I recently found this group and after reading the definitions of CP and laughing my butt off, I decided to join. It is so nice to know that you are...
... is ... Hi! I am sorry to hear of your pain...it just doesn't seem fair sometimes. I know this can come a very quickly. My 14 year old fell and hit her ...
... I have wondered about that, too. In my case, I have always had a predisposition to CP, having patella alta (first "found" when I was about 22 yrs old in...
Hi there Joe! The injury that led to my CP was a fall on some water in my bathroom which caused me to tear my ACL, MCL, both meniscus and caused bone...
if anyone has had experience with the same surgery as I have just had. My knees have never been aligned properly, I've been through a lateral release on both...
I've stopped doing the pool exercises and have seen improvement. (The last round of prolotherapy has kicked in too.) I will ask him about the tracking, he...
Awesome Heather. Glad to hear it. Keep being smart and conservative and I bet you'll be good as new in a couple months. - Doug ... (The ... too ... tiniest ...
Hi Doug, Heather and anyone else with experience with prolo,I am very interested in the procedure/process. However, I have 2 concerns: * swelling in my knee...
MaryAnne: Prolotherapy will cause inflammation and pain -- but that is exactly what it is supposed to do. Just as your current inflammation is your body...
MaryAnne, I was concerned about the same thing. Last week when he did around my knees, it did mimic the pain I've been feeling but only in very specific...
For those of you with experience in prolotherapy, I have another question. I have had tracking issues diagnosed since age 12 or 13 (which is about 19-20 years...
Hi Robin: At the risk of sounding like a salesman... I think you are a perfect candidate for prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is very good at tightening up loose...
Hi Robin, Is the cause of your fallen arches some deterioration in the posterial tibial tendon (e.g, tendonitis or tendonosis)? If that's the case, Prolo can ...
