Today... (well, Friday, whatever) I went to the NEW chiropractor for the initial visit. VERY impressed with the operation they run over there (except for the 1hr delay in seeing the doc). He spent 30 min (at least) interviewing me, asking problems i was having, where the pains were, etc. Asked what tests i'd had, what doc's i'd seen. He examined me, and said that while he didn't think he could cure me, he thought that he could help. They work hand-in-hand with my PM, which impressed me. He was pretty impressed by the research I'd done (Thank all of you.....) . SO, i'll be going back to him for the next little while, hopefully I'll get some relief this way. For those in the mid-south, its the Cole Pain Therapy Group.

Doc has some pretty good credentials- president of the Federal Chrio Licensing Board, pushed for strict licensing standards (helped write a state law), AND..... they give complete transcripts of the visit to the referring doctor.

thank alison for her long answer.
Here it is ofte the same: the doctors are specialized and in their domain they are excellent but they forget the human beeing behind the medical term.

My way from one doctor to the next to find out TOS was a long one and I am though so I am ready to make a new doctors-ralley to find out why my tendons are tearing.

Thanks again for the support!
I will write later again - don`t have so much time now.

All the best for you,
Barbara

Hello again,
it`s better now - as I am at work, I had to cut my first post.....

Only want to add to my first post, to answer alison`s question, if my shoulder doc knows about TOS: yes he does, but he also says, that we are miles away from the TOS region. This is not completely true as my upper body is very slim, but.....

Victoria, I hope you will soon find an answer!!!!

Dabbo, I am happy to read, that your chiro visit was so helpful! Hope you can get relief!!

Wish you an agreable afternoon (or whatever time it is over the ocean!)
Barbara

Dabbosounds like you found a winner! Good luck. Just the idea of a chiro bothers me. Just like watching tennis or golf on tv. It pains me. Put it sounds like you found a good doctor!

Victoria And once again, I'm sorry guys, but the bra issue is a big deal. I Just went to Victoria Secret and got some really good expensive bras. I keep having to adjust the right strap because it keeps falling down. Obviously I droop my shoulder but it is annoying. And, once again, sorry guys, but I could probably go without one but I don't think that is practical after 4 kids! Around the house I try to do without. I am not sure of the answer. Dr. T. said a corset but for me that isn't necessary. Maybe just a strapless or sports bra. Sorry, too much information

Hi,

Bra's are a big issue lets start a thread! sorry guys....

Victoria

just want continue our Today I thread!!!

I hope it is a good day for everyone and I send very nice greetings to you all!!!
Barbara

hi barb!

hey maybe we should pull up the old bra thread, too?

I am suffering today, not really sure why, just everything feels extra tender.

Hey everybody. I don't know why I'm having a bad day but lots of pain. Neck, shoulder, shoulder blade and right arm. So sick of it.

I don't thing I have ever posted on this threat but today I figure I will...

I am battling wicked headaches, neck pain, arm pain etc...I went back to physio yesterday and it just took a toll on me I guess. Tomorrow I go for an ins. examine for continuing physio treatments...fun fun
