Thank you very much Mark for your reply and suggestions!

This is why (in desperation) I came to this site, aside from the fact that for over 5 yrs I've been trying to find people like myself, and for the past few years have been trying to find a support site like this one.

For me Mark, my aquatic therapy was via my local hospital, even though I get an automatic 35% discount on ALL my bills because I don't work, my aquatic therapy bill was a little over $500 a mos, BELIEVE IT. I was going around 6-7 times per mos if I remember correctly with an instructor and his helper.

My local YMCA has one, but I can't use it because people like us need the water to be at 92 degrees, theirs was 81 degrees max, and I asked them if they can make it hotter and they can't for many valid reasons, like it's the YMCA...lol!

What exactly does the "k-tape" do? How would it help me? Would the tape have to be wrapped around my lump/swelling/injection site?

The following is just my opinion, I hope that people understand that my situation is very unique on how I became injured, I'm not trying to steer folks away from immunization's, just be VERY WARY on whom's delivering the needle, and MAKE SURE it's being administered properly. I think cause I'm a big guy with big arms might of threw this god awful inept nurse a curveball, in hindsight I wish I would of sensed her inability before the permanent damage was done.


-God bless
