The Role of a Physical Therapist

Question:

Pearl, go on line and find the new info for kidney patients.  I accidently deleted my links but if I recover it I will send it to you.  It is fasinating what they are doing..  Don’t remember all the info though.  I am slowly locating everything but keep getting a message it doesn;t work with win32 what ever that means.  But I;ll figure it out.  As for the pred, my hubby forgot to tell me that the dr wants me in asap to see him.  (told me today so usefull)  But I will call on Monday after the mri in the morning. So I’ll let you know.  UM MOM Susan

Yes, Stacey is wonderful. She is unique in that she handles conditions such as levator ani syndrome and other internal conditions. She literally goes into body cavities, i.e. rectum, vagina to reach scar tissue, adhesions and such to alleviate pain. It works. She saved my life. Sue, sorry to hear you are in a bad spell. My daughter in TX just adopted 2 babies – same mother, 2 different fathers. Jakob Jonah (previously Christian) is 15 months, and Franklin Mondell (Frankway) is 26 months old. Their mother is white, one father Mexican and one Africa n-Am erican. They are beautiful children. They couldn’t see a biracial Jewish child with the name Christain and since he was only 11 months old, the name change was appropriate. My daughter and her husband have their hands full. She was on dialysis years ago and has limited kidney function.I only hope her health remains stable. My son, the one with the quintuple bypass, will be 40 this month and we’re all getting together in PA for his birthday. He made it and it wasn’t easy. My other daughter, the one who had a son 4 months ago is doing well. THe baby had viral/bacterial colitis for the first 2 months of his life but is now well. We have much to be thankful for. I hope this current period of pain, etc. is brief and if you do need prednisone, it is for a short time.

Hi Pearl nice to hear from you.  How’s the family doing now?  Better I hope. Now as for PT you are correct.  I had if once but had to stop because of the edema.  Going back again soon.  Supposed to have done it a while back but put it off feels great but so time comsuming when seeing so many drs.  Dr today said do it.  I had a massage and facial on the cruise ship.  Boy did that feel great.  Gift from my dear hubby.  Never had a facial before but my skin never felt so soft in a very long time though I did get a little burned look from their sensitive line of product.  But the massage was just for my back and has reminded me how much it helps. My two therapists are great too. So I am setting it up sometime early next week.  Nice to hear from you.  UM MOM Susan

Response:

Many of us suffer from adhesions and scar tissue from previous surgeries. Oftentimes these cause obstructions that can be painful and can sometimes require surgery. I have been using a physical therapist for severe pelvic/perianal pain from my many prior surgeries. Not only has she been able to eliminate (50-75%) of the pain but has also been able to relieve obstructions that could have led to surgery. By manipulating the intestine manually she has been able to open up almost complete blockages. Granted she has had extensive post graduate training in various forms of therapy. Before submitting to surgery it is wise to explore alternative modalities. Doctors often discharge us after abdominal surgeries with no thought to a proactive approach that would prevent scar tissue  and adhesions. The sooner one has PT the better. Just as someone having orthopedic surgery requires PT to make sure scar tissue does not cause stricture and hinder mobility so too should we make sure our internal organs are not confined in unnatural positions due to scar tissue and adhesions. This contributes to blockages. — Pearl L
