Well as long as I gave myself extra time to get there. Ok… so we left at 9:30am. My appointment wasn’t until 11:00am but I woke up in alot more pain than I have been in so far. On top of that this throbbing pain that…

The newest pup, Chewy had his surgery in November to reconstruct his knee/leg in order to stabilize his kneecap. It kept sliding off to the side of his leg and then back to the front. It was seemed to be going ok several weeks after. Other than the fact I had to keep…

I mean if I get positive results I will try it elsewhere as long as the doctor feels it is worth it. We did briefly speak after the procedure on my MRI results of my spine and if I would be eligible…

She apologized numerous times and even gave me $100 back on the cost of the procedure. Which I might add is something I have never seen anyone…

While the therapist was doing his consult he mentioned dry needling. I have heard of it but wasn’t really sure what it entailed. Surprisingly my husband agreed to try it. – he’s such a baby when it comes to stuff like this, lol. It’s funny considering all the shots they…
Originally posted 2018-02-12 10:50:19. My appointment to start try Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is set and ready to go. It is only on my ankle right now as the doctor did not want to tell me yes or not if it was possible with the condition of my spine. So she ordered a MRI and we will just have to wait and see. In the meantime, I have started the “prep” prior to the…
Originally posted 2018-01-18 16:16:41. During my last pain management appointment I noticed a brochure that I hadn’t seen before. I grabbed it to read over mainly just to pass time while waiting for the doc to come in. My understanding of just what it entails is minimal at this point but it had me curious to find out more. So, at checkout, I asked what the cost was for me to find out if I…
