Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi folks!Thanks so very much to all of you for your public and private mesaages while I have been pretty much incapacitated both physically and mentally due to an incredibly aggravating back injury situation. It has been a humbling experience to say the least when I think of how easy it is to research some information, formulatate a game plan around natural herbs and supplements and then turn out to find myself in a situation that I am unable to resolve myself! In general, I vastly prefer natural healing and all the many advantages it has to offer; however, I must admit that there comes a time (or seems to) when actual physical trauma is involved and generally speaking, no amount of good herbs, plants and supplements are going to repair a serious injury. I have always said, in mimicing one of my mentors Jon Barron, that mainstream medicine excels in repairing broken and injured parts. Likewise, it generally excels at diagnosis of what parts may be impaired or otherwise operating at less than optimum capacities. This seems to be the case with me - even though I consulted some very trusted sources and took myself to an imminently qualified chiropractor in San Antonio instead of going the mainstream route. Progress has been slow but somewhat steady and I am happy to report that I am no longer eating pain pills like candy just to be able to stand the pain (though existing in a perpetual brain fog) and have been cleared to spend up to 30 minutes at a time, along with a lumbar support device, at the computer again. I am also having no less than 10 daily half hour ice packs on my lower spine area (the location of the problem) and three office visits per week for therapy that I can only liken to eletrical stimulation (like a TENS type unit) and a torture rack, er I mean spinal decompression device, with other treatments and more homework on the horizon. Thus far, the pain has localized to mainly just one area on top of my foot (and it is still a whopper), and I can now take one step in front of the other without falling on my face or more attractive side!Thanks so much for your patience. Soon, I will be back with a much greater presence and I have so very much catching up to do, so try to bear with me in the interim. Meanwhile, my 30 minutes is up (and then some). I will add that I now have a tremendous empathy for anyone who writes about being in constant and/or prolonged pain. It is so easy to recommend a bit of EFT and a few herbals on paper. HAH! The reality can be so very much more serious.I love and have missed all of you more than you probably know!Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Tony, So glad to see you are improving. If you haven't tried acupuncture you should.... it is THE most effective therapy for pain and musculoskeletal injuries on the planet. It was the ONLY therapy that cured me of a bad sciatica that I was plagued with for 8 months... tried everything from traction to valium, nothing helped so out of desperation I went to a Japanese doctor who used acupuncture. Cured me in three weeks. Bob - Tony oleander soup Saturday, June 06, 2009 8:02 AM I'm Back!

I too,(who had never had pain before in my 60 years of life) went through a very painful back experience due to a tumor and now I understand what real pain can be. We are all praying for a complete recovery for you.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Allcockalvin. A friend of mine had spurs on her heels couple months, she could not walk or do anything without pain or limping , the doctor suggested surgery, i suggested she try cilica cell salt first, well two months later and she walks, she does gardening and the pain is gone. I suggest the same thing to you, just try and see. Good luck. Hugs Mary - allcockalvin oleander soup Friday, June 12, 2009 12:42 PM Re: I'm Back!
