Alert for advice?

[Guest guest]

Group,

Yesterday my PT did ultra sound on my neck and shoulders for the pain I am

experiencing is worse now than ever.

She said that if after a year of PT and nothing has helped that I might be

having some nerve damage-- something she called RSD? or something like that?

where nerves get damaged and go into atrophy?

Anyone hear of this????

Please help.

Annie

A poet is, after all, to see

Tingling-Good News!

I just got word my Lyme's disease test came back negative! But they

did find I was low in iron, they said it's 12, 13 and up a good

starting point she said, so the dr. said I need to take some iron

pills for 3 months.

As far as my tingling I've been going to a RMT and PT both seem to be

helping the PT said it would help to have a TENS at home, so I picked

that up yesterday, doesn't anyone here use a TENS Unit?

PT has added some light stretching excerises with a theraband, so far

I can only do a small amount. The tingling seems to be more in my feet

arm and hands of both side now. I can't seem to cut hair with my arms

up too high, the tingling seems to get worse.
