That's a good reminder Rob. We have to remember that we are also aging
or we could be causing injury to our bodies due to bad posture or the
wrong way of stretching due to our crooked bodies. A few years ago I
had to go back to PT for a frozen shoulder and it was fixed 100%. It
wasn't TM - it was a frozen shoulder.

About a year ago I realized that my walking was getting worse and more
painful.....my Dr. senht me for an MRI of my right leg which is my bad
one and guess what...it showed that I had a tear in the meniscus part of
my knee. I proceeded to have microsurgery to repair it andf within 4
weeks (and some PT) I was walking as good if not better than any time
since TM hit me. I also had no pain and was able to walk longer
distances without the fatigue and banding setting in.
Now a year later I started having pain on the other side of my knee.
Again I went to the surgeon thinking I might need another
operation...but instead he prescribed to me the "Flector Patch" which is
a self adhesive part you apply to the most painful area and like magic
the pain went away.
My point is that sometimes we treat all of our conditions as if they are
TM related ...but sometimes we tend to ignore the possibility that it is
not. I am lucky to hyave a Dr. who understands TM but also checks for
other factors leading to my discomforts.
All the best!
