Hi Barb,

Sometimes a physical therapist can do very similar things as a chiropractor, just with no popping and cracking! The person who fixed my lower back and hip socket after a fall on the ice was actually a physical therapist who did a chiropractic manuveur that she had learned. (And this was after a year of going to a chiropropractor who didn't fix the problem). Good luck to Louie.

You have to tell him ... he sounds like my husband sometimes, and I think Margie's, too. That's a good thing.

Love, Marsha

My old boss had a pinched nerve in his neck. The PT stretched him...Always sounded like a mild version of those torture chamber things. But he said it felt so good to have the pressure relieved.

Good luck to Lou.

Hi Barb

Good new that it is not Lou's heart that is causing the pain. Physios can help a lot when there is a pinched nerve. Hope Douglas has a good report from the neuro. It must be very uncomfortable for him the way it is.

Hi Barb...I am so happy that Mr Louigi is ok and not his heart bothering him. Hope the PT works for him. Love Oma

Hi Barb,

I had a pinched nerve in my neck about 10 years ago.....I woke up with it....tingling down to my elbow.... It took weeks to finally go away....I hope Louigi feels better soon!

I hope your son, Douglas, finds the relief he is looking for too.....

one of my favorite quotes: Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Chronic pain/illness is a bummer!

Happy Tuesday! It's my favorite tv night, American Idol (they're down to the final 2) House at 9:00. Which, by the way, I am taping American Idol so my daughter can watch Gilmore Girls....

Love,
Mo

I'm with Mo, American Idol tonight and then tomorrow (with House at 9 tonight!) GOOD shows! First year of Idol for me - never watched it before this year.

Yes, my hustband is the same way, Marsha - Grrrrrrrr

Barb, I hope that Doug can get some relief. It is awful the pain and debilitation that he suffers. Any relief would be welcome at this point, I think.

Good for Louie! Glad it isn't serious but pain can really be a bummer.

Take care of you (and he)!

Love,
Mars
