Taylorschott, I have never had anything done for my A.D. because I read that it could actually make the pain worse. I cannot imagine having worse pain than I do now. I'm going to try to get the mirror thingy going. My problem is getting my husband pinned down. He is the only one around. He works hard and when he comes home he is tired and wants to rest. I have 7 dogs.............maybe...
No, they are too busy eating and sleeping. The cat got offended when I kept
complaining about his claws. Bless you and your husband,

I know of a member here that did mirror therapy for phantom limb pain it went very very well for her. I also watched a video of mirror therapy I would do it in a heart beat!!!!! Both of you are in my prayers!

cltmet70 yours dose sound like A.D. . I have A.D. but I also have a neuro stim implant to help controll the pain.
Bless you all and many low pain prayers too.
PEACE

doodlebug, you are not the only person who has had a hard time figuring out how to work this in. i think we are lucky in that regard. we started doing it while we were on vacation. my husband is retired (partly due to disability, of course.) i only work part time since our son is still young. so i think we have an easier time than most. even so, it is hard for us to get it in more than twice a day now that we are back and school is in session. and there are people who have written to me who don't have anyone to do it. so we need to figure out some creative solution. some day, maybe PT's will be trained in this and someone will come to your home or work and it will be covered by insurance, (OK, OK, I am seriously fantasizing here...) but until then, we're all just figuring it out. I love the dog idea. Maybe a specially trained mirror-therapy dog?
