I found a wagon at the thrift store yesterday. I’m so happy. Trying to take laundry out has been a pita with one weak arm. I will happily do my laundry now. :-) I don’t have to keep asking the kids to help. Yay!
@Museek what's up with the weak arm?🙁
@Tail I have a tear in my elbow and rotator cuff from a work injury. It’s gotten much better through therapy but there are still things I can’t do.. laundry is one of them. Can’t do heavy lifting or extend my arm behind my back, yet.
@Museek I had a bike accident a couple years ago, landed on my left shoulder, had to have the whole thing put back together. I know the pain and the struggle.
All the specialists have told me shoulder surgeries are the worst, worse than hips even.
@stueytheround @Museek going in for some neuropathy creeping up my legs, I'm half hoping they find an orthopedic cause for it.
@Tail @stueytheround ohhh
Have you tried water therapy? I swear, it helped me. I had nerve issues that were severe for a few years. Had PT, laser treatments and alternate hot and cold water therapy. Buzzing tailbone went away! Yes... I had a buzzing tailbone, as strange as that sounds... just like a cell phone on silent. Lol
@Museek Ohh my you poor thing. I'm glad you're getting better, I can't imagine being restricted to a wheelchair, but I know what it's like to only have one arm. 😫
@Tail yes.. childbirth injury .. had to use a wheelchair and walker for about 3.5 years... that was humbling. They tried to give me a steroid shot in the spine and that didn’t work so opted for less invasive procedures and stopped taking gabapentin. Really glad I did. I’ve been doing the same water treatment therapy ever since.. except during covid. The heat opens up blood vessels surrounding the nerves and the cold constructs them.. in my case, it helped. I can walk again. So I’m grateful.
