Looking at kluft pillow top mattress
Comments (0)Trying to find a mattress that gives me and DH a good night sleep. Have a Seta I Comfort now and both of us are having terrible pains in our backs and shoulders. Tried the Kluft pillow top latex today and feels great. Are planning on putting this on our adjustable base. Also tried the Stearns and Foster nadine and the Temperpedic cloud lux. Any suggestions on these?...See MoreChronic shoulder and clavicle pain
Comments (6)I had a chiropractor tell me I had stenosis of the spine in my neck which was causing the sharp pain between my spine and shoulder blade. (which caused the muscle spasm) I was watching TV and in order to see the screen, I had to lie on my side as the TV was sitting on the dresser. I had my son mount it on the wall like they do in hospitals and it relieved a lot of pressure in the neck and enabled me to fall asleep on my back. I probably moved to one side or the other during the night but did not spend the entire night in that position. If your couch faces the TV I'm sure you are spending most if not all the night on your side. Do you switch ends during the night? (to also switch sides)...See MoreAnyone have sciatica pain? or back pain?
Comments (29)"And if you google pilates for sciatica you can find exercises to try at home." "Another important factor is getting or keeping weight off the stomach, and strengthening the stomach muscles. A big belly with weak muscles can put a lot of stress on the spine." I have had one bout of sciatica that came on suddenly and was incredibly painful-quoted the above insights because what has worked for me is Pilates. I was taking group lessons and when the trainer went out on her own I followed her. She is very good at getting me to move and stretch past what I would do on my own without straining or overdoing it; Pilates of course is also all about strengthening one's core muscles and I've not had any more sciatic problems. Thank goodness for that, it was one of the most excruciating pains I've ever experienced. Ann...See MoreNew Here, Question about dog w/shoulder pain
Comments (16)There are a couple of things that really got my attention about this post. Basically, I think Cynthia hit it on the head, I'll just expand on it. First of all I had a dog Shepard/Lab for 14 years. She had numerous issues since I adopted her at 9 months. Because of all of her issues, I learned a lot and, also became furious with veterinarians for not curing things. (Once I was so mad, I almost lost my dog and I almost put my cell phone through a window, and Im considered a very calm person) I am now on my 8th vet in 15 years. You mentioned a tick bite. I noticed that Cynthia mentioned this. I don't believe anyone specifically mentioned Lyme disease. Of the four dogs that I have had over the past 15 years, two have had it. One was easily diagnosed, the other was not. The one that was not (Anela) was horribly emaciated when I adopted her at 9 months. To make a long sad story short, the vet that I had, originally diagnosed her with a brain tumor and started rattling off numbers about what it would take etc. etc. All of this within a few days after I got the dog! Even though the vet new Anela's history (she came from West Virginia, where there is a very high rate of Lyme) he originally did not do the test (that by the way would have only cost $35.00). It was only after I spent about $300.00 for a mis-diagnosis and I consulted two other vets that I trust but can't retain, did the Lyme test get done. Guess what, she had Lyme. Pills fixed the problem. My point with this is not all vets recognize Lyme and the symptoms. I have discovered that any type of joint pain could be Lyme. In my case, Anela could not eat, even though she looked like a walking skeleton because her jaws hurt. I couldnÂt even touch them. No other symptoms were there. The other thing that got my attention was the medication that you initially started with. I learned the hard way (because I almost lost another dog) to quiz the vet thoroughly about what is going on. I want to know what he/she is doing and why. If the process seems to involved, I research the subject and consult with other vets who can educate me. Most importantly, I want to know how long the medication is going to take to fix the problem. There should be an easy direct answer to this. If there is a hesitation, then I would say I need to research the problem before anything is done. Unfortunately, I have not had a good experience with vets. I had numerous occasions where I felt like they saw me as an open wallet walking through their door. You spent $400.00! That's a lot of money. (although I always say that money is not the real issue, but to an extent it is). Also, people with pets are at a disadvantage when it comes to their sick pets. When it happens, we usually don't know anything about the problem and rely on someone who supposedly does. For this reason, unless there is what I term "a life threatening situation" such as severe vomiting, I assume that itÂs a minor thing. If there is a major thing, I probably will wind up at the emergency clinic. If you haven't already, I would research any topic you can find about what your dog is going through. Quiz the vet, and take the upper hand in this. I think the process of getting your dog cured is dragging on for to long. It should have been fixed by now, unless there is something seriously wrong that requires surgery. (for all you know it could be something minor). Fortunately I now have a wonderful vet. When I first called her, she answered the phone. I have sent numerous people to her, everyone loves her. She is the only vet in the clinic, something I really like. She is never rushed and has helped me through numerous issues. Good luck! Keep us posted! SG...See Moredaisychain Zn3b
