Re: [TMIC] That banding feeling
Hi Jeanne, The banding has been exactly the same for me. It has been with me since day one and starts underneath my breasts and goes all the way around my abdomen. When it gets real bad, it continues downward until I feel completely enveloped by it. Sometimes it hurts so badly it hurts to even breathe. I don't let TM or anything get me down, but I am beginning to feel angry, after seven years. I am pissed because I cannot work in the garden and go places without it being a big deal to get dressed, fix my hair and sometimes put on make up so the pain doesn't show so badly. I was told that I looked old when I am in pain...by a sweet 14 year old boy. Thank you very much. For the constipation problem, for years I have used Fish Oil capsules, one per day and I get them from the health food store or my pharmacy. They work like a dream. And I have the kind of bowel that moves the poop down to the vault, but will not push it out, so I have done digital removable for ever and ever. It's not fun, but we need to do what we need to do...

Tracey, This is one incredible young fellow, to say the very least.

Re: [TMIC] EASY STAND
Re: [TMIC] EASY STANDAkuaYes I am paralized from T-3/4. It helps with maintaining muscle and bone strength in my legs and my arms, blood flow and blood pressure, range of motion in my hips, and it helps me mentally to know I am doing something positive. It helps me with my arms and hips because the standing frame allows my legs to move back and forth as I move the hand grips/glides back and forth in the top of the frame. Basically the hand grips on top are connected to the foot shoes on the bottom of the frame with a resistance cannister in between, The reisstance cannisters look like shock abssorbers and you can dial in the the amount of resistance you want. I know all of this may sound complicated but it is a pretty simple operation. I transfer onto the seat from my wheelchair without using my sliding board. I think they sell for around $5K. My insurance company paid for it and I have had it for eight years. I am glad you ask about it because I have been kinda lazy lately.

Re: [TMIC] my knee
Barbara, Well it's no big deal about not asking about the injection of cartilage, but it IS a big deal what you're going through. My goodness. Did you already have the Cortisone injection, if so please let us know if it helps. I hope for your sake it does. I'm impressed with your doctor for being totally honest with you by telling you not to expect this to be a magic pill. Everybody has different issues, so the outcome is not necessarily the same for all. Hey, congratulations on those pounds you already lost. Getting started is the hardest part, and looks like you're on your way. It is a lot of hard work after the surgery, but you will feel sooo much better. And better is good. I know you can do it! Just keep focused on being able to be more active. Please keep us posted. hugs, Linda - Original Message - From: balmat...@aol.commailto:balmat...@aol.com To: tmic-list@eskimo.commailto:tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2009 1:25 AM Subject: [TMIC] my knee I went to the orthopedist yesterday, and found out that I am indeed a candidate for a knee replacement. I am 58 yrs old and he said that typically they like to wait till 60 or older because they do need replacing in 10-15 yrs on average. With as much as I'd walk on it, I'd probably get a longer life though, as he said what happens is the screws get loose and they need to go in and re-do them. He also schedules about 2 months out, and it takes most people about 4-6 months of rehab to be back to 100%. I really didn't want to be recouperating over Christmas, so I opted to try a Cortisone injection to see if it would get me through a bit until I could get at least past the holidays. I don't know if it'll work or not, but it's worth a try. I should know soon if the shot is successful or not. My nephew gets married the 28th of August, and I am hoping to go to the wedding without knee pain. I loved him. I've had 2 DVT's in this leg and have torn muscles also in the past few years. He told me that this is not going to fix all the problems that I am having with my leg. It may help them since the knee will be stronger, won't buckle on me, and the muscles won't have to be compensating as much, but I shouldn't go into the replacement and expect it to be the magic pill. But, I have serious circulation problems that will not be helped, so my feeling is I have to try to help as much as I can to get back to being able to walk more again and become more active, if possible. I walked more and better up until a few years ago. I was so surprised that he didn't talk at all about my weight. I could stand to lose a good bit of weight, and am going to be making a valiant effort at that. I've already started and have lost the few pounds that I have gained back over the past few months. The yo-yo thing, not good. It will make it much easier on my knees now and in the future, as well as the rehab when the day comes to try to get back up on the new knee. Yikes, that's going to take some work! Hope I'm up to it. Linda, I'm very sorry, but I forgot to ask about the injection of cartilage. There was so much going on between my husband asking about healthcare and the knee that we were in his office for almost an hour. Hugs to all, Barbara A
