Re: ? surgery pre-conferencre - Right Mike? - LIsa

It's a real possibility that I will have to have my ankle fused

again, before the conference. It was done last April (2003), pain

increased, Dr. thought the pain was from the screw, so he operated

again in August to remove the screw. Pain increased.

Have you tried doing the X technique on your ankle?

If you can start running energy through your ankle it should help

moderate the pain. It can also help jump start the bone fusion.

Gently palpate around the ankle. Pick the most tender point and put

the tip of your middle finger on that spot. Put the tip of the

middle finger of your other hand directly across on the other side

of the ankle. Hold for a balance. Keep repeating it all the way

around the ankle on any tender points.
