So many wonderful replies with goooood suggestions and information. I'm going to reply in one post as I use my phone and iPad to see what's been said.
Mark. It is in both hands and everywhere but thumbs.
Hockey-my sister has MS. One thanksgiving her hand popped open on our stairs (new construction) and turned our cream carpet tan from the coffee she spilled. I love her more than perfect carpet! She felt so bad but stuff like that happens.
No swelling in my hands.
M i M. She does work on sensitive spots she will just touch a place with her finger and wow it hurts the. She works on it. Sometimes I get migraines after therapy. It's amazing because it doesn't seem like deep tissue work. She's very gentle. Good to know about the disc. I will talk to neuro. I'll talk to therapist tom too. Ice is my bestie since the accident.
MrsD. It's been too hot and humid to go in the garage to do my jewelry(that's where my supplies are) but my major form of communication is texting. I am hypothyroid and had both hands done by a wonderful doctor.
It could have been drive through for how fast and little recovery time. Best choice I ever made! Neuro tested me to see if it was back about 10 months ago and it was neg. I broke my hand during the accident too. After I got my cast off he gave me this great soft splint with the shoe laces and Velcro. Best split ever. Must find and wear it at night!
My metabolism is soooo different now. I have protein shakes I keep in fridge. I will try 1/2 of that before bed.
Jo*mar. My posture is bad. I'm large chested and my shoulders roll. When I sit I use back support always. Considering a reduction. My chin used to jut out and my vestibular therapist taught me what to do. I am always aware of keeping it tucked. Great advice. I
feel all my anxiety go straight to my neck. We had tornados come through here a few days ago and my ax iety went off the charts. Then to neck and shoulders. She does feel around for those pin point painful spots. Wow. Just a finger on them and it hurts. She works on them and I do feel good when I leave. I don't always get a migraine after bout 60% of the time.
Sitke. Yes the pain is real. It's not as bad as my carpal tunnel was and I'm so thankful for that. Do they even do standing MRI? Never thought about it making a diff with laying down.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!
peace and wellness
Jenna
