Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Tracie, Osteitis is inflammation of the bone. Osteitis frontalis interna would mean inflammation of the inner table of the frontal bone (of your skull). What did your physician say about it? Not an MD I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org [ ] , can you help? > Hi , > > I was wondering if you could help me out.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 ...

I've been trying to get through to Dr. Brownstein or Dr. Ng for months. I have a question for them. I know you're a friend of Dr. Brownstein... can you get my question through to him? The people answering the phone suggested submitting the question via his website and so far, no response. > > My brother adopted a baby from Korea 16 years ago. He's a great kid now but has a problem that puts him in the hospital for weeks at a time. His muscles just stiffen and he is overwhelmed with pain... for weeks! He is sometimes wheel chair bound and other times indistinguishable from a normal teen.

Therefore, I thought that Dr. Brownstein might be able to help. Now, he has not been diagnosed with it by anyone however.
