How to File Insurance Appeals

my hands are less numb :eek:

i think. so my median nerve fingers are still really bad (the same) but the palm of my hand (???????) is feeling different

my hands are definitely less numb. however numbness changes now, before it was constant. now sleeping hardens up my fingers. median nerve on my winged scap is def the worst. constantly numb.

i finally got a physiatrist to say i have tos yay

i have a good lower trap exercise i might post later when i am not lazy. it really is idiotproof. i would be surprised if it caused a flare.

i am going to purchase suspension cords ala http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg and set them up in my basement. this is NOT idiotproof but ive been doing baby exercises in pt so i am more confident its a long term solutoin for me.

see you can do stuff like this but on your knees (easier)

okay get a soft squishy ball like that you can press the palm of your hand in a little. not totally pumped

stand facing a wall, arms length distance, tuck your chin in slightly, and hips aka good posture. straighten one arm in front of you holding ball on wall with palm of your hand, now move arm/palm in small clockwise circles and then counter clockwise circles. you can user your other hand to monitor if you are using upper trap/lats and then go spank yourself. its really tiring for me

Thanks. Where did you get this?

my physical therapist.

i tried googling a pic/info but couldnt find much. its a great execise

ive been resting with that plastic neck thing you mentioned awhile back. it does work. i can tell when i havent used it in awhile, it hurts to lie on it


really you guys, i get definite neck/levator relief when i do some of these exercises. it only lasts for a few minutes but the whole no pain no gain thing is so wrong. you should feel slightly better afterwards if you are strengthening properly.

i noticed in this article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...spt-04-170.pdf boytos shared it says that curing tos does NOT involve rotator cuff strengthening either which i find interesting but it makes sense. whenever i do those types of exercises i feel like i am doing something wrong

I can't wait to get this thread to page 4 so I don't have to read "my arm pits are big cobwebs full of old blood and lactic acid" every day. :eek: :D

I think I found it, although the ball is bigger than you indicated, but the circles are not:

Is that it?

yes! my circles are really small tho but same thing. i guess you could use a huge ball i like the small one tho. he's right about pressing your shoulders too close together= BAD

if i didn't use my other hand to monitor my lats i would be donig this all wrong. my scapula is downwardly rotated. id be willing to bet most people here have the same problem.
