I was wondering. Dr. Donahue told me there would be one exercise he wanted me to do for one year, 365 days. Otherwise he's not (paraphrasing) that keen on PT. Can you share with me the exercise he gave you. Thanking you in advance, I remain. Irisheyesmilin |

Hospitals are one of the dirtiest places around! ICK! those little sticky germs spread and hang onto every tiny corner. MDs ties are the worst offenders. They never wash those things, and I think they should be banned. Those curtains between the beds are another. Staph is a very hard to kill bacteria.
Folks used to be very worried about a drop of AIDS infected blood, but if you put one drop of Aids blood, next to a drop of Hep B blood and checked them out. The minute the Aids blood is cool, its dead. 2 weeks later you can come back and still find life in that Hep B droplet. Scary! You MUST be PRO active in a hospital. DEMAND that anyone who come near you wash their hands first. Put your own BP machine in your room, and dont share. Keep your own hands really clean and NEVER touch your face unless you are washing it. With so many rapid fire patients going from ER to OR its amazing we dont have more sick folks. Im sorry you got sick. I hope they find a way to make it better, quick.

I hope I am doing the right thing to talk to you. I have an appt w/Dr. D Dec.3 2013 and wondered....did you have the terminology down when you asked him about what was wrong with you. I believe I have bilateral tos. My scapula, back, clavical area, shoulders to fingertips have nerve pain/dull aches, numbness and pins/needles. I have looked up the brachial plexus/scalene etc and all fit the problem, any suggestions about how to address the tos? I don't know when or where to look for your reply, but I am trying to go thru the instructions to find out, lol. I am, irisheyesmilin |

I am seeing Dr. D soon (9 days) and am very likely having a re-operation. You will see in my signature the surgery I had done, it was 10 months ago and I have gotten worse and am continuing to worsen as more time passes and my other side is also getting worse (unoperated side). I believe my pain to be from scar tissue and the lack of c-rib or first rib resections. So Dr. D said if he were to do my redo he will take those both out 100%. Hope that helps.

[What I said was that my surgeon told me that too much movement post surgery will not cause scar tissue to regrow more quickly]
Ah that clears it up - I didn't see that from my readings of the first post. What I saw was this and that's what I was replying about. [but scar tissue does NOT cause problems] probably what others were replying about because they have scar tissue and it causing problems. So the thread got off due to a misunderstanding of sorts...apples vs oranges ... [I do find that telling people to restrict their movements post surgery for fear of scar tissue forming is misinformation. ] You thought the suggestion of limiting movements after surgery was in relation to scar tissue growth.?? If I had noticed a post saying that I would have tried to clarify, I must have missed that one. I usually suggest gentle ROM movements - but limiting of any quick, fast, jerky moves that may cause a problem. Like trying to catch a falling cup or dish.. ( nothing to do with scar tissue- but just in general- post op advice) * About Dr talk... I will say that everyone has their own experiences with various Drs and while some love their Dr, another may have had a bad experience with the same one.. It nothing personal and no Dr is or his office staff is 100% perfect every day.. Mistakes happen.
