well -I did rise with pain in the *butt** but *

it didnt travel as severely down the entire *leg* as it has been doing--

Did some checking on google---(for home remidies) but all I came across was either *surgery* (depending if there be DISC issues involved-which I doubt) or pill form meds. to take AND thats a NO-WAY thing--
There was an EMAIL to Xplain ones issues so I did that too--

--and asked the DR.---*so what have U to say about my big toe causing me to list to the other side and causing me this sciatic issue---got an answer?
Louis was like

and I

--they asking for an Email and they getting one!!!

Also injections---etc.----so will see what the Ortho has to say---when I see him for my check-up---

Did my floor Xerziers/Green Ball and am now eating Girl Scout Peanut butter cookies---WHICH I would luve to have my taste buds back---soooooooooooooo ( I shut my eyes and say!!!peanut butter--yum--peanut butter yum) dont do much good

but maybe my brain is *tasting*

Have a good day

Hey Barb, have you ever gone to the Chiropractor and they put a machine on you that has little stickey patches like when they run a EKG.? It sends little electrical pulses thru an area. It Increases circulation as well as eleviates pain when used on a regular basis. Mike went to the Chiro and the doctor got him a small version. I have used it on my shoulders when The fibro acts up and it does help. You can put the stickey patches on and programe it for an hour or just 20 min. Love Oma

OMA----been to the chiropractor-----before I went to PT---no results--anyway he didnt take XRays and that got me a bit *P'O'd*

The Physical Therapist---recommended by my Ortho,Doc---who X-rayed me to see if there be any other issues---caused by the compressed fracture --when I fell down the stairs---and then had the fractured *cee-mented* ---- sent me there----

As I said----this is all due to--my listing to one side--from the removal of the toe nail--- THAT caused me pain---

BUT by I feel I should be doing better---some days--more tolerable--most days I

--so there is a good chance I might have to go for an MRI--

and if U understood this post--

---good-----cus I dont think I worded stuff in the *understandable* manner

The PT does all that stuff----heat---puts those things on my butt to stimulate the *nerve* and etc.

So I am NOT a happy camper---sorry

luve Barbara
