Oh, one thing I forgot to mention...for acute
flare-up, injuries, strains etc. there is NOTHING to compart to ultrasound. And if you
notice, my friends in suffering, this treatment
is no longer available in the doctor's offices,
nor is it available for us to purchase.
That leaves one alternative...the HOSPITAL. Try
to locate a hospital that offers REHABILITATION.
They should offer the water (especially whirlpool) (don't overdo exercises in water just
because you're in water) ....water in conjunction
with ULTRASOUND. It is quick...about l0-l5 min.
and PAINLESS.
Prior to HMO's, Medicare covered in-hospital
rehab, which was wondeerful and kept many of us
able to hold full time jobs. Now, you have to
transport yourself for treatment...but even if you have to ask for someone to drive you, give
yourself a break. I can tell you, I do this...and if my flare-up is so acute I fear to
drive myself, I ask a friend for help...okay, so
I bake them a potroast later when I am feeling
better.....right?!!!
You'll find as I do..our countrymen/women actually enjoy giving you a hand...So go for it!
And God bless.
