I have been in PT for my arm for two weeks now and I see major improvement. The ultrasound things works wonders, the heated 4 way use splint/wrap that I brought helps to loosen my muscles. I do the exercises and they help with movement. I still have to wear the splint and I thought I could go without it right, so I was clapping when watching football. . .I clapped too hard and my right hand flung back and the pain was brutal so NO I cannot go without the brace for long. I also brought a Futuro For Womens arm splint which I wear at home and to sleep. It is the softest hand brace I have ever used. It's compresses just right, adds a good amount of wrist restriction, it's sleek and perfect, I love it!
So. . .PT is looking good right now. I do the exercises they show me for my right hand on my left as well (even though I am only being seen for my right when it should be for both)
lets hope it stay this way.
also the anti-depressants are starting to work. I am feeling so much better emotionally. Better than I have this year since my moms death.
Wow, what great news all the way around! Both physically and emotionally. Congratulations to you, Mo. And you're a fighter, so I'm not surprised that you've found some good tactics to help you.
Mo, this is wonderful, first time I have ever heard you say you feel better. I am so glad! It makes most of the people on here worse, so you are one of the lucky ones, hope you just continue to improve!
Thanx Sk. . .I do feel so much better. Pain wise and emtionally. . it's coming up on a yr since my mothers death so it's been rough and great to not have to deal with that and a lot of pain.
Hi Mo, So glad for you & nice to here something is helping, & it sounds like your football team is doing well also, I live in buffalo, but well… Those Bills are such a mess, good thing I’m a Falcons fan, they have won there first 6 games … Go Falcons !!
