Physical Therapy

On Thursday I went for Physical Therapy, to try to relieve symptoms of nerve entrapment in right arm. First they put wet moist heat packs on right shoulder and back. Then came ultrasound, then massage.  The therapist put me through exercises, and told me to do the series of exercises twice a day.
I hope all this will help. I'll be going twice a week. I found out another of my cousins is having the same symptoms of a bulging disc in her neck, and is going through all the tests I did. These "bad bones" and disc problems run in our family.
Thanks to genetics inheirited from our maternal side, it's something many of us have to contend with. Two of her brothers have already had surgery on their neck, but nowadays surgery is a last ditch procedure by neurosurgeons.
Maybe PT will help. Time limited on computer, so will say bye y'all for now. Susil

Glad to hear you are getting therapy. I have had severe neck pain escalating over the past three years. Just had a CT scan and something else (carotid?), plus getting bone density. Personally I think shrinking cartilage is causing the problem. Have a date to see my doctor after the last test and after he rules out god knows what, he will prescribe massage therapy. I am sure it is mechanical. Meanwhile, I am using a vibrating cushion I got (about $50 with postage and handling) from HoMedic.Com. It is like a car seat. Since using it have had some relief and increased range of motion in neck. Keep us posted on progress.

You said that they run in your family, maybe they
will run away!

I hope it helps Sue. I've had two surgeries on my neck and all I can say is: not again.
