MxDisaster, why are you so defensive?? Jeez. Chill out. I agree with Ches. Did I misread your first post or are you asking people to donate money to you at the end of it? Anyway, regardless, good for you for trying and where there is a will there is a way. I think with very incomplete injuries, there is always a chance for getting quite a lot of function back. Personally, I think being realistic yet optimistic is the way to go. Putting all...

Hi MxDisasterGrl, Given your medicare/insurance status and two kids, you're kinda on your own...there's just no free ride here in the USA...it sucks having to wait two years post injury to get further assistance, but we all do. However, since you seem to be wanting to push your physical recovery further you are going to have to get creative with your own exercise regime. Stretching, strength building, weight bearing, cardio are all...

Dangerous, she said it's only been 18 months now. In my eyes, and most anyone who's read her post with their eyes open can see she's looking for help and advise to CONTINUE therapy. This also means, regardless of being from a small town, she obviously was able to get therapy before, and is still in need to continue it. Sorry missed that 18 months Yes .. anything under 2 years .. fight for .. cause those signals are seeking...

Rough tough Creme Puff: "My hips seem to pop a lot when i walk and it's a little scary." There are some other places in the forum where people mention this. Read for them, though I don't recall anyone getting much understanding. My right one does and I stopped paying attention to it. My knee fires like a 22- scares me, but the MD doesn't worry unless it cause pain. They know how to address pain but they simply...

At this point all I want to do is say good luck with your recovery and leave it at that. This bears a bad stink to a simaler thread none too long ago. That being said, I'm not trying to compare anyone to certian other douchebags, just the whike premise stinks of familiarity. Good luck with your recovery!

April, I really want you to find support on here and I want to support you. I was just trying to give you a head's up about all of us on here. I'm sure if you have been reading, then you already know they want lurkers to speak up so we are glad you joined in. I was just trying to give some helpful advice about the best way to glean from this site and get support. Some of us find humor the best therapy we have and so we joke around...

If you're trying to keep your ankles from allowing the feet to flop then the ankle braces do do the job. But I quit using them like 10+ yrs ago........they routinely made sores on my Achilles tendon, & you said you didn't have insurance & they do need to be properly fitted by an ortho or PT.

You know, E-DOG really is trying to help (in his own way) That's all we can do is try and use our own personal experience with this thing and offer a little insight, he really is not trying to be offensive... i think?? Besides that.. It sounds like your having some good return, and while sitting around waiting for the finances to get some therapy, you could use what you do have. With someones help you could try and find some parallel...
