Fri, 09 May 2008 08:48:53 +0000 http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlThat sucks to know that has been chipping away for 12 years. I have another x-ray on my ankle next week as the docs are starting to doubt their initial diagnosis and there are fears that I broke something in there and it has healed funny. I guess when you first get it x-rayed they miss a lot because of the swelling....http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 08:48:53 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlWell, I'm in the same boat as you Phil -- it was a 12-year old broken wrist from an inline skating accident. It was a little disconcerting that two doctors argued over my diagnosis. The senior doctor said that there was ligament damage, but he thought the source of my pain was tendonitis after all. I got a corticosteroid shot and another appointment two weeks from now. I asked about weight lifting and was told to stay off anything that involves gripping, which means I can do some Cybe...http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 04:54:09 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlhow did the appointment go, guy?http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 03:00:52 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlOh BTW, hopefully the Flyerz will take the Penguins down. (Yes, I'm a grumpy Rangers fan with a few sour Penguin grapes to squash.) So er, don;t distract that Doctor from his job of fixing up the Flyers. .. :0 http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 02:00:50 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlGood thing you are seeing a doc. I didn;t when I fractured / broke my wrist, and it was a nagging pain for a decade. Still makes pushups kinda painful, but not so bad now. If the tendon is fully torn and separated, don't delay in getting it fixed. My friend waited too long ( a few weeks) trying chiropractic on his ruptured achilles and the tendon ends receded away from each other, making the surgery very problematic....http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 09 May 2008 01:58:45 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlThanks! I just got an appointment for this Wednesday with the wrist surgeon on staff for the Philly Eagles, Flyers, and Phantoms! I feel much better, especially after reading about some of the amazing recoveries some of those athletes have had at his hands. Keeping my fingers crossed.http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlMon, 05 May 2008 19:54:05 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlQuoting: TikbalangI'm meeting an ortho surgeon this Monday, but I'm wondering if I should shop around and find someone with sports injury experience. I really would like to keep lifting weights and don't want to have to deal with someone telling me I can't anymore. That's probably the best thing you could do, specifically finding a sports injury professional... I gaurantee there are a lot of athletes, especially in the NFL and stuff, who have had that or worst injuri...http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlSat, 03 May 2008 04:49:52 +0000http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlI've run through a flurry of tests this week (x-ray, MRI) and I most probably have a torn scapholunate ligament in my left wrist. Most surgical procedures I've found info on are not promising -- they work well for sedentary folk who don't put a lot of stress on their wrist, but the results deteriorate very rapidly for people who do. Any suggestions? Has anyone had to deal with this type of injury? I'm meeting an ortho surgeon this Monday, but I'm wondering if I ...http://www.traineo.com/15_5837_0.htmlFri, 02 May 2008 22:25:39 +0000
