As many of my fb friends know, Ive been battling an OA missdiagnosis for the past decade. Also more recently a related chronic pain problem that put me out of action for several months and long term shoulder impingement / instability issues. These issues are now sorted (despite what I can only describe as hostile opposition from health professionals), well understood (by me) and things are going great. I know lots of other people are in similar situations so obviously wanted to share my findings to help others. These problems are poorly understood by health professionals, and are so complex that it really does need a diligent DIY approach - each case is different. Ive figured out a kind of framework for identifying promising courses of action when it comes to dealing with these things. Its kind of got out of hand - so many people asking questions and wanting my opinions on things. BUT the stuff Im giving them is helping and turning things around for people. This one today is typical of the feedback ( a lady diagnosed with OA and told to live with it): The results are astonishing in two main respects. First, most of the pain was on the right side of the body and leg when the hip pain on the left. Secondly, by this stage, now that the initial soreness has gone, it’s also obvious that much of the serious pain has gone with it. Now I have to say, I am not unused to this since I already had complete success with a tennis ball a few years back sorting out carpel tunnel and tinnitus but what surprised me this time is the speed with which the techniques advocated in the manual, have got to grips with my hip situation. In fact, as in your own case, this is not a hip problem at all - just years and years of abusing my muscles. It has given me great hope and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting me onto the right trail. But now – what next? I have, with the exception of walking an average of 35 miles a week, given up all forms of exercise and now feel I want to make a start. I travel a good deal and so it’s not possible to find a trainer but in ten days time I shall have access to a gym so I would like to see what happens when I add in some weight training and aerobics. Your web pages leave me breathless but at 64 I don’t think I’m ever going to have the stamina or technique to hang like a flag so what do you suggest? I am used to most gym kit but wonder how useful abductor and adductor machines, leg presses and for that matter squats might be? And then there’s cycling or cross training? I guess if I keep using the tennis ball in before and after sessions maybe it’s all worth a go. You seem to have marched on regardless so I’d love your feedback on this. As for your new website, if you dont like the osteoarthritis cure for your domain name, how about Osteo-fight? Im being urged by lots of people to set up a website but thatll take time and cost money. So, Ive decided to put it all into a book. That way I help people but I get paid for my time :) Watch this space :)
