text: Deborah Wednesday, 5/31/06, 7:31 Winslow PM I took my mama to Dr. Schwartz a few years ago. Oh, how I remember his staff and how he had helped my mama. She has passed, three years September 12, 2003. I am now trying to find help for a friend who also suffers from RSD. Her family dropped her in a nursing. Go figure. Does anyone in your staff know of a Doctor in Charlotte, NC that can help her? The Drs. here just fill her up with Oxycotin. That was the same problem with my mama in NC. Any advice is truly appreciated. Love to all that suffer with RSD. I've seen it first hand. My prayers are that soon a cure or relief for their pain is soon found.

From: Oregon Web Site: N/A E-mail: email@example.com Lorie Thursday, 4/27/06, 10:29 AM After 6 yrs. of looking for help and info. I find this site and now know that it's the Dr.'s that are crazy and not the people that have RSD. How can one place know all the symptoms of RSD, what it can effect yet another place say it's all in her head? Why don't Dr's do re-search to help? My child is 15 and has had this for 6 yrs. Yet, we have been told it's all in her head, she just wants drugs ect. I am hoping I can take info. from this site and not only help my child but others that may follow her.

From: Surprise, Arizona E-mail: email@example.com TRACY GUTHMILLER Tuesday, 10/18/05, 12:35 AM YOUR WEBSITE IS SOOO REFRESHING, DR. SCHWARTZ! I HAVE FULL BODIED RSD ALONG WITH A GAZILLION OTHER WEIRD THINGS GOING ON WITH MY BODY THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE RSD. I HAVE AN ANATOMY BACKGROUND (WAS GOING TO GET MY MASTERS DEGREE AS A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT BEFORE THE RSD (POST HAND SURGERY FOR ME). KNOWING HOW INVOLVED THE SYMPATHETIC NERV. SYST. IS IN OUR BODY, I WONDERED HOW DR.'S COULD SAY THAT OUR HEART, EYES, ETC. COULD NOT BE AFFECTED BY RSD. FINALLY, YOU HAVE CONFIRMED MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT BEING AFRAID TO SAY WHAT YOU THINK AND FOR STUDYING THIS AREA. PERHAPS, ONCE IGNORANCE IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY, THERE WILL BE MORE ROOM FOR FINDING A TREATMENT. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR YOUR WORK. From: PHOENIX, AZ E-mail: email@example.com Tammy Skibo Monday, 10/10/05, 10:20 PM I have RSD for almost 4 years. I never dreamed a person as healthy and active as myself would end up spending her time fighting something like this. My last complication from RSD landed my in the hospital for a month. It has affected my heart, I do not produce cortisol and in return has affected my renal glands so I have dangerous levels of sodium and potassium in my system. I was also given 40mg of Baclofen which ended up putting me in a coma. I also found many of the nurses taking care of me didn't know about RSD which made somethings worse. We must educate the health professionals and the public about this. I am home now and trying to get stronger and find the means to be able to come to South Carolina and see Dr. Schwartz. I went to the 2005 conference and was very impressed with what I heard. I do not like taking pain meds and only take them when the pain is so severe I can't sleep or eat for days. I just had a continues Lidocaine drip to help ease the pain. It has worked for now but is very expensive. It is not a cure which we all need but for now I can sleep and eat a little better. This web site is very helpful and my family has been helped by it. Thank Dr. Schwartz and everyone who is reaching out and helping us. God Bless and be pain free some day soon. Tammy From: Hellertown, PA E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Julie Brewer Wednesday, 8/17/05, 3:00 PM Thanks for all the information ! From: Greenville, Sc E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Carole Faulkner Thursday, 8/11/05, 8:56 AM I am a RSD patient currently in remission and volunteer with the RSD Alert Team, out of England. Thank you for good web sites. I just wish there were more information out there for DR's.So many Dr's don't know any thing about this condition. I get so many emails from people suffering with RSD and they can not get any help. Most don't even get diagnosed till years later and are already disabled. I did get diagnosed very early and got good physical therapy. I was back to work about a year later. I still have pain when I over use my hand but I am trying to deal with this. And I pray mine stays in remission. Thank You Carole Faulkner. From: Orlando Florida E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com barbara cox Sunday, 4/24/05, 1:57 PM A warm Hello to Each of You- Often many of you have inquired of my health problems and to the best of my ability I've tried to explain my discomfort. It's all very difficult to explain, but it all stems from severe neck injury that Isuffered from car accident I was involved in back in 1977--in Houston, TX. while going to Bible College.(and no, I wasn't the driver- hee- hee!) This month in PEOPLE magazine Paula Abdul has an article on the very same thing I suffer with. The magazine date is May2--If you have opportunity, please look the article over. With the wonderful Dr. that I'm working with-I have now been able to rise above almost all of the pain and discomfort. All the odd symptoms that other physicians gave me more pills for or even told me it was in my HEAD--are all behind me now! Dr. Robert Schwartz has a website that I'm sure you would find interesting to view as well, it is; www.piedmontpmr.com Thank you for your friendship and inquiring about this obstacle that has followed me for more than half my life--I hope and pray that it will perhaps inform you and even members of your social circle to a better understanding of chronic pain sufferers and their silent tasks to maintain a normal life of activity. Please don't make the mistake of categorizing patients of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy as being mentally challenged or emotionally unstable-- (although many of you and MY FAMILY would debate this issue heavily in MY case!), but actually it's quite the contour--You must be very strong emotionally to over ride the pain and distractions of the discomfort. Not to mention the fight to stay focused on anything! For those of us that love life and it's purpose--we continue--and with assistance sent to us through Physicians such as Paula's Doctor and Dr. Robert Schwartz, we receive the blessing of normal function. To express our appreciation to these Professionals and our gratitude to each of you for loving us--is way beyond words...thank you! Gratefully, Barb From: greenville Greg Fleming Thursday, 4/7/05, 5:19 PM Great website. Great Doctor also! I have dealt with chronic pain for years and had taken high powered, highly addictive pain meds for years to cope with the pain. Thanks to Dr. Shwartz I have felt better than I have since I was eighteen years old. The only meds I take is an occasional ibuprofin or tylenol. Dr. Shwartz is no cheerleader or back patter. He is a great doctor who gives it to you straight and don't beat around the bush. He tells you what to do and expects you to do it. I listened, did what he said, and look at me now! Thanks Doc!

He has been through everything you can think of. Therapy, Nerve blocks,Drugs and BAD Treatment as well has some good treatment. But here we are 4 1/2 years down the road and we are still suffering and trying to find more answers. Today we had to go to the emergency room once more for pain relief. We meat a very nice Dr. and all he could say is you need treatment, Well HELLO we know that. But once again we are left out in the cold. So here I am tring to find more answers to lots of questions. Tommorrow I contact the more people and maybe we might be able to meet this Dr. Schwartyz one day soon. I just would like someone to give me some answers to alot of unanswered questions. To help my husband be able to live some sort of a "Normal" LIFE.We are not looking for hand outs just answers and maybe some help! I am glad I found this sight and hope we all can help each other.

Kim Miller From: New Albany,Indiana E-mail: email@example.com Carol Price Monday, 10/20/03, 8:01 PM I can't believe the knowledge/support efforts of RSD in G'ville! I moved to Alaska earlier this year with a referral for PT on a high ankle sprain with multiple microtears along achilles.After 5 mo.s there was little improvement and injured my knee at work-slipped causing a " giving way " effect. Swelling, burning and red blotchiness was evident 24 hrs. later. The Dr. at PT office has RSD and sent me to several specialist. It was just agreed upon through a bone scan, MRI, and thermography that its early RSD. I'm on Neurontin 900mg/day for 10 days and then will take alpha/beta blockers with a series of ganglion blocks at the end of the month. You see, I lived in Gower Estates for thirty some years. Greenville is home to my family. I've had mixed emotions about the medical care here but my Dr. seems to be right ontop of this. Mother naturally wants me home now to help me with this. If I do move back down there, I'd like to become involved in clinical trials etc. I can't believe the lack of information/research about this, so I'd be happy to assist in any way/shape/form!

I have to this date not seen such a well written article that you composed on Anterior Horn Cells. I just happen to type it in on the MSN Home page and your article was the best I have ever seen. I also enjoyed the RSD and the thoracis Outlet articles. Please keep up the good work about education and management. This was the main point of my e mail was to compliment you on your fabulous website and u taking tech info and keeping it technical yet readable. The Website where I can be seen is www.ambulatoryfootwear.com.

I was so sick when I went to him. I could hardly walk. I was always running a low grade fever and felt terrible. I always blamed everything on RSD. Dr. Swartz found out that I had two different infections going on in my body. Plus mercury poisoning also my blood levels were so low in minerals. He also cleared up my thinking by changing a few medications. I still have RSD but I will not let it control my life any longer.I wanted to" Thank You " personally for meeting me at the door to his office and showing me around. You are an asset to our cause.

I live in the south & it has been very difficult to get physicians to understand or read what I have written. Thank God one did read my symptoms. I appreciate any information I have been given. This is horrible to live this way. But I am desperately trying to control it with food & limited medication because of my allergies. Thank you for your sweet response I wish I could travel to see you. Sincerely & God bless. Lisa Mullis Thursday, 2/27/03, 7:43 PM My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with RSD in Oct of 2002. We had never heard of this. It started in her left big toe her entire foot was swollen and blue. We spent a week in the hospital in Macon then a week in Emory University Hosp in Atlanta. While in Atlanta they preformed a sympenthectomy. Three weeks later it was back so then they started the radio frequency nerve burnings. After two failed and nobody could answer any questions God lead us to the internet site of Dr. Schwartz, After almost 6 months of not being able to walk and intense pain. After the diagnoses and an injection in her back, she walked out of Dr.Schwartz's office PRAISE THE LORD!!!! After the 4th visit Charlene states that she is 100% better than when we went Jan 28,03. I thank God that He has blessed Dr. Schwartz with the knowledge to help people with this condition.All praise honor and glory goes to God!! And I thank Dr Schwartz for being willing to learn. It is well worth the 5hour trip to SC. If you are out there wondering should I go, Make the decision and go NOW!!! Lisa Mullis From: Dublin, GA E-mail: email@example.com Cathy Flournoy Saturday, 2/22/03, 10:18 AM Your site is very interesting. I have had RSD in my right shoulder/arm for almost four years. I has started spreading to the left shoulder/arm and my right leg. I am treated with pain medications, muscle relaxers, antidepressants and a medication to stop the constricture of the blood vessels. I get very little relief but what I get is certainly appreciated. I have a history of a severe staph infection (MRSA) in my right knee and wonder if this could be a possible source of my problem. I will tell my doctor about your antibiotic article and see what he thinks. I know that I am not anemic but also know that 4 years ago my C Reactive Protein was elevated. I have allergies to many antibiotics but maybe there is one out there that I could try. I am desperate at this point for relief. I have very little energy, difficulty sleeping, and a major problem with sweating 24/7. Anyway thanks for your article and I have some hope that maybe there is something out there that we have not yet tried. Thanks for all the work you are doing.

About three years ago, I emailed you. I told you about the contractures / dystonia problems I was having in my upper right side. I have had RSD since 1989. I mentioned in my previous email, that I was one of Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick's former patients, from when he was with James Haley VAMC and the University of South Florida. You suggested I talk to my doctor at the Veterans Affairs hospital here in St. Petersburg about Botox injections. Well I have been receiving Botox since that time. I get injections every three months ( 2 vials per visit). The doctor starts in my hand, then arm, shoulder, neck and then my face. It has really made a difference in my ability to function. I'm still working 40 hours a week, although I have slowed down over time.

I enjoyed hearing him so much....everything he said made sense to me, and believe me, with RSD, not everything makes sense at times! If my treatments up here do not help in the near future, I hope I can make it to South Carolina for help with my hand. I am glad that there are doctors out there, in particular Dr. Schwartz, who take RSD seriously, and offer hope and help to us sufferers! Thank you so much! Lin From: Massachusetts E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Fran Monday, 10/7/02, 5:45 PM Hi, I just found your site and decided to sign in. I fell about 4 years ago, landed on my face and developed TMJ problems. Osteo-Arthritis set in, extreme bone loss followed, facial pain, then temperature changes in my face started occuring. After 3 years of just being treated for TMJ, my hands started swelling, turning red, burning pain from my face spread to my hands and arms and now it is going into my legs, thighs and feet. I guess I have it body-wide, but my doctor said he doesn't believe RSD exists body- wide. I've had 2 stellate blocks in the past 2 weeks and the redness and pain went away for about 12 hours and comes back strong on the other side. My face is better, but my legs and knees are worse. I told my doctor of a rash that is gray-red in color and extreme swelling on my thighs, but he seemed unconcerned and is happy my face is improving. So am I, but I'm worried about the increase of the pain in my legs. Is it possible to correct the problem one place and have it move to another? I also had a bone scan that showed increased blood flow to all the joints in my body, which seems like a lot for arthritis. When I read things on the internet I worry I'm not doing enough to stop this from spreading. I want to help myself, but all my doctors will say is the internet has a lot of bad information going around. Are any of you on vitamins or do any thing to prevent this from spreading? I'm on large doses of pain medication and muscle relaxors and that's about it. Neurotin knocks me out. I hope I'm not rambling on, since this is just a sign in page. It's just not a simple disease to describe. I no longer work and am in bed most of the day. Walking increases all my pain and sitting up makes the headaches worse. My jaw joint is almost gone on one side and causes pain on the nerves when I sit up. Surgery is out until the RSD is under control. As you can see I feel lost and frustrated. I have seen over 20 doctors and dentists and am worn out. My current doctor does care and says he knows a lot about RSD. I haven't given up yet because my family still needs me. At least I know I'm not alone by reading all of your entries. I hope your pain gets better everyday and someday they find a cure for this horrible disease. Thanks for any help, Fran From: Florida E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Jo MAy Tuesday, 10/1/02, 5:28 AM Need more info sent to workman's comp agencies so that treatment is not delayed. If I can get so well educated from sites like this, why can't they? From: Louisville,KY E-mail: email@example.com Ronda Miller Friday, 9/13/02, 6:55 AM I haven't taken the time to post in quite a while but I have been going to Dr.Schwartz since Jan. 2000 and I have never regreted a trip which is a 2 hour drive one way. I am looking forward to this years conference because Dr. Schwartz will be bringing new life to us about other procedures that can make our quality of life even better. It is hard to live with chronic pain, believe me I know. It gets discouraging but Dr.Schwartz helps by just knowing I have him as a Dr. with my best interest in mind. I am going to go through a new testing procedure that he will be talking about at the seminar next week. I am looking forward to hearing all about it. I will try anything once and twice if it works. It's hard on your family cause they don't really know how we feel because I look perfectly normal ( well as normal as I can be) but my body is not normal it let's me know everyday that I have my limitations. And that is OK. At least I have a life and I thank the Good Lord above for his love and guiding hand everyday. Hope to see new faces at the conference this year it will be worth your money and time to go. I missed last year but I won't miss this year. Again, Thanks to Dr. Schwartz and all his lovely staff who are always so kind and cheery when I go to the dr. They are a special group of people sent from up above. Till I write again. Hopefully won't be too long.

I wanted to thank you for your endeavors regarding RSDS. I obtained RSD in 1994 and was not diagnosed until 1997. Prior to my diagnosis, cold pack and hot packs were used in the "main area", my left knee. Later, surgery was done on the "main area" to remove the wires holding my knee cap together. After being diagnosed, the neuroligist ordered ganglion blocks. Limited pain medication was provided during the period of l994-1997. I don't believe I need explain to you what hell my life has been but I AM STILL HERE AND FIGHTING !!!! I am currently receiving epidural blocks and have since 1999. Neurontin, Amitrptylene, pain meds and antidepressants fill my medicine cabinet. ALL I CAN SAY IS I WISH I HAD HAD A COMPUTER BEFORE THIS TIME. I COULD HAVE FOUND YOU GOOD PEOPLE SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love information-I saw someone had received a package of information. I just began having some different things happen to my body over the last two weeks and accidentally happened onto this site. I am scared about this "window" of treatment. I am interested in any information I can get at this point. I am so glad Dr. Schwartz is in SC. After just reading the stories people has posted-all I can see is a painful death.

I have never regreted any of my 2 hour trips to him which at times were everyday and then not so often. He has helped me control my RSD in my foot at times it bothers me more than others.. Just like with this cold weather.. I have more problems than the RSD I have nerve damage which he treats me for also. Without his treatment this time last year I cried everyday...The good outweights the bad days. I look ahead not behind me... Looking forward to Spring... He is a very patient and caring physician who truly cares about his patients and listens. We have learned just recently after he ordered some blood work that I have a high toxin level in my blood...But he won't give up on me until he finds out how to control it.. I am already on some medication to do toxify myself. And he has ordered more testing. But one of the special things about him is that on Monday I had to return to the lab in Greenville a 6 hour Urine test that he had ordered for me. Well I had some questions I needed to ask him due to concerns of my family and I asked Melanie at his front desk if she thought he could spare me a minute even though I did not have an appt. she said of course. Without an appt. he took the time even with a office full of people waiting to see him to talk to me about my concerns. To me that means everything. I think the world of my primary care physician because he keeps getting me referrals for Dr. Schwartz but he will never be able to hold a candle to the time Dr. Schwartz spends listening to me and his other patients. Even though I am concerned about my upcoming test results I feel confident in my dr. that he will do all he can in his power to make me better. That's alot to say today about a physician. If anyone has been in pain for a long time and still have no answers please take a ride to Greenville it will be worth it.. He has the most pleasant staff and I feel like I could actually call on anyone of them for a question. Please feel free to email me if you need any info or anything else about his practice. I will be glad to share more with you... Again... May God keep you pain free and be with you at all times... Look beside you and he is with you.

Our group is 5 years old now. I have RSD which started in my lumbar spine immediately after an anterior spinal fusion in March 1994. It quickly spread, and it now "full body". I haved an implanted narcotic infusion pump, with Dilaudid. This is my 2nd pump, after the battery failed after 5 years on the original one. Louise Plaster of the SC RSD Assoc is a wonderful friend of mine, who also refers RSD'ers to our group, that live in this area. If anyone reads this from the Columbia or Midlands area of SC, and are looking for a support group, please contact me at 803-532-9471 or email@example.com. And...since this IS Dr. Schwartz' website we are on I will put in a "plug" for him, too! I have met and talked with him, but not as a patient of his. I've been very impressed with him, and he's volunteered his time in offering to come to Columbia to speak for us. I know of a good many of his patients, and have seen first-hand, what good results so many of them have received!

From: Sarasota, Florida Web Site: Holly E-mail: email@example.com Ronda Miller Friday, 6/16/00, 8:07 PM This is an update to my earlier letter in Feb.2000.I have know been seeing Dr. Schwartz for about 5 months. He has helped me both physically and mentally. When you have chronic pain you sometimes feel you are in a world all alone and feel people especially your family think you are nuts. I am here to let everyone know that you can get better no matter what your diagnosis is. I try not to focus on the disease but try and figure what is best for my body at this time and listen to what my dr. tells me. It changes from day to day. But I can depend on Dr. Shcwartz to be there whenever I need him. I urge anyone who is having chronic pain and no Dr. seems to know what is wrong go to Dr. Schwartz in Greenville, or call his office and he may be able to lead you to a Dr. closer to you. I can't say enough about his staff there also. They are always pleasant and usually have a smile on their face. I can call the office anytime and they will ask Dr. Schwartz a question I may have or if he needs to respond he will. It's important for you to feel like you are important and not just another patient. And everyone in the office makes you feel that way. So if anyone reading this is in need of care please don't keep on going from Dr. to Dr. cause I have been there and you will only get worse mentally and physically. I would be more than happy to talk to anyone. And also if you have read Dr. Schwart's webpage you will notice that you can click on the SCRSDA page. I have met a couple of wonderful ladies, Ms. Louise and Ms. Bobbie. They are strong women who have been and still are dealing with their disease but they have a positive outlook and that's what it takes. If you would like more information you can email Ms. Louise @firstname.lastname@example.com and she can send you some important information for you to read. Well I guess I will close for now but I pray that everyone will have a restfull night. And always remember that you can be helped. God Bless everyone..... Ronda Lexington SC email@example.com From: Lexington SC E-mail: email@example.com Ronda Miller Thursday, 6/1/00, 6:43 PM Diedre, Try not to get too anxious if Dr. Schwartz has not answered you as of yet.. I am going back to see him tomorrow and I will mention your email. He is a wonderful dr. and if anyone can help you it will be him. He will not give up on you as long as you don't give up on yourself. I have been seeing him since Jan as you probably saw my earlier statement. He is continuing to try and treat me. Hang in there and if you need to talk feel free to email me. I'm right in your backyard almost. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight.

I travel 2 hours to see him and I have only been seeing him unfourtanetly since the Jan. 2000 after a final and terrible trip to a neurologist.I started just to give up that day but called the RSDA to see if there was a Dr. in the state of SC that could treat and diagnos RSD, they led me to him and it has been a pleasure, he is one in a million. He found out more about me and what was wrong with me in 1 visit than 6 doctors had in the last 17 months. He is taking 1 visit at a time and treating me the way he feels is needed and I trust him completely which is a much needed part of a relationship between a Dr. and their patient.. So if there is anyone who needs a REAL Dr. who cares about his patient then you need to take the trip..I never once give it a second thought each time I go. And I always look forward to the next visit and treatment even though I don't care too much for shot's when you get to the point of no return you will trust in him to do what is best for you. Please feel free to email me at any time if you have any questions. At least I know I'm not CRAZY now, my pain is real and not in my head..... If only doctors were more aware of what causes pain and not treat something before they know what is wrong with a patient.. Kindest Regards & God Bless!

When my "Doctor" told me of this he did not really explain how awfull it can become. Through all of my research I now know how extremely painfull it can be. In addition, I now know that "I" am not alone!! Thank you so very much for taking your valuable time to do as much as humanly possible to help find a cure, and to better educate those whom do not understand this disease! THANK YOU!! Karen From: California E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Charlie Seidel Thursday, 10/21/99, 3:29 PM Lots of valuable information. Thanks so much. Having just met Dr. Schwartz at the RSDSA Conference in Atlantic City, I know that he is top notch in the field of RSD.

To discuss your particular situation and how our products can help, call toll-free at 1-866-237-9608. Dear MendMeShop, I developed tendonitis in my left ankle about a year ago, after having some pain and realizing I needed to go to the doctor to see what I'd done! In November, I was told it was tendonitis and to wear a "boot" or air cast and that they would prescribe physical therapy. I was told that I did not need to wear the boot 24/7, but anytime it was painful or would be using my feet a lot, I should use it. Even though I'm a type A and like to multi-task and move quickly, I wore the boot, but boy did it get in my way. The physical therapy definitely helped, and they gave me some exercises to do at home and while gone for about two weeks. I graduated from physical therapy in January, and although my ankle did not really feel stable, the pain had diminished. However my body had aches and pains, some sciatica, my legs had cramping and those worsened whenever using the boot for long walking periods, as suggested by PT's and doctor. Basically, we dediced that all this had helped, but anytime there was a strain put on that ankle, it was back to swelling and pain. And, the boot helped to keep pressure off the injury, but basically caused more damage to the rest of me. Frustrated, I decided to search tendonitis on line, and was looking for other modalities for healing. Voila! This lead me to the MendMeShop. With their 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, Free Shipping on orders over $200.00 and great support – I decided to purchase (I mean how could I go wrong)! I got the Achilles Inferno Wrap (for pain), the Achilles Freezie Wrap (for swelling, although after using the Inferno really didn't have a swelling problem) and the 5 Year Extended Warranty on about the 20th of June this year. Read the instructions, called with a couple of questions and got great personalized service, and started using the Inferno Wrap as directed! Immediately my ankle was back to its more normal size and most of the pain was gone. I am able to move freely, actually am working a few days a week on my feet 8-9 hours, and although I don't believe my tendon is totally healed yet – I believe it will be as I continue to use the Inferno Wrap. I simply saw that the PT (which included some ten treatments) was giving me snippets of relief. The boot left me wondering if it wouldn't cause other damage even though it took the pressure off the tendon when I was unable to walk on it. The Inferno Wrap, and the few times I've needed the Freezie Wrap, have done more for me and has been worth every penny spent. I know I've saved 100's in PT had I not met TheMendMe Shop and their products. Rating: Lisa Nelson |
Achilles Tendinopathy DiagnosisDiagnosing an Achilles Tendon InjuryA physical exam or with diagnostic tests. To help your doctor achieve a proper diagnosis, he/she will begin with a medical history about you, your current condition and symptoms, the intensity of your pain, the duration of your symptoms and the limitations you are experiencing. Details about what causing the problem, when it started, and whether or not you have ever had treatments (for this or a similar condition in the past) are very helpful in assessing your injury. Your doctor will visually assess and palpate (feel) the bones and soft tissue in and around both of your Achilles tendons to evaluate symmetry and spot any differences. Such as inflammation, swelling, bone deformity, scar tissue build up, and a weakened tendon. He/she will press on the injured tendon to test for tenderness, tough nodes of scar tissue, and jelly-like sections on the tendon. He/she will probably ask you to push down with the ball of your foot and toes (plantarflexing) to evaluate the flexibility, alignment, range of motion and pain level. Common Diagnostic TestsDiagnostic testing to obtain more detailed information, and assess the amount and/or type of damage done to your Achilles tendon. There are a variety of different tests available to help them analyze the situation; however the recommendation will be dependent on your injury. The Thompson Test is a common physical exam that doctors use to determine if an Achilles tendon has ruptured. This test involves the patient lying face down on the exam table with knees at a 90 degree angle. The doctor squeezes the calf muscles of the injured leg. If the foot flexes downward (like trying to point your toes) the Achilles tendon is not torn. If the Achilles tendon is torn, the foot does not move. X-rays don't show much relative to tendons and other soft tissue but it will provide an image of the overall bone structure of your ankle. It is helpful in identifying bone spurs, calcifications within the tendon, fractures or degeneration of the heel bone. CAT or CT scans can be used to provide a 3-dimensional assessment of the bones and soft tissues in and around your Achilles tendon and may be used to identify a tendon tear. MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) will provide more detailed information and will help to evaluate the Achilles tendon damage. An MRI can diagnose tendinosis, tissue damage and tears, and/or other associated conditions. The type of test recommended will depend on your symptoms and the opinion of your medical professional. Treating an Achilles Tendon InjuryYour doctor will give advice to use conservative treatments before even suggesting surgery. It is generally understood by doctors and surgeons, that surgery will introduce more scar tissue into the any already damaged tissue. This added scar tissue will be problematic, requiring more physical therapy and conservative treatment options post-surgery. If not dealt with properly, your tendonitis injury could end up in worse condition than before the surgery! This is why surgery is only performed as a last resort. Most doctors, surgeons and orthopedic specialists will recommend conservative treatment methods for Achilles Tendon injuries before even considering surgery. Some conservative treatment methods recommended include:
These easy to use and safe effective products, such as Cold Compression and Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy will effectively treat Achilles tendonitis, bursitis, tendon strain, and post-operative recovery. Such therapies will reduce your pain and heal your Achilles faster while treating the scar tissue that builds up on your Achilles tendon during the healing process. This is important because scar tissue leaves your Achilles tendon inflexible and at greater risk of re-injuty. To find out more about these and other easy-to-use therapies click here. |

Kathleen Plate
Kathleen Plate's elegant and contemporary recycled glass jewelry has a bit of family history. Plate grew up in Washington and observed the art of cutting and soldering glass by her crafty mother. She still brings those skills to her pieces today.
During the mid 1990s she began making and selling jewelry in her spare time. She did so well that she decided to take her Smart Glass work national, even though it meant putting off her graduate work in American Literature.
Smart Glass pieces are all handmade from bright and bold stained glass, silver solder and sterling silver. Plate believes in simplicity and respect for the earth and the human spirit. All her designs use recycled material, while portions of the proceeds from others will go to support many of Kathleen's favorite non-profit organizations.

Following Meeting With FAA, Orlando Entrepreneurs Create Aerial Robotics Industry Association
ORLANDO, Fla., April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- After a positive meeting with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the entrepreneurs behind Hoverfly Technologies are moving forward to create a new industry association and a Flight School certification program for aerial robot operators across the nation.
Hoverfly, which develops remotely piloted aerial robots that enable nearly hands-free flight and effortless video capture in the air, met with Michael K. Wilson, Southern Region Program Manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems at the FAA, on March 25.
A major function of the FAA includes regulating commuter and commercial aviation. While there is not a specific rule in place that prohibits the commercial use of aerial robots, it is currently not the policy of the FAA to authorize the use of such robots.
"At the FAA, we are passionate about the aviation industry. We understand that the future holds many opportunities for the commercial use of unmanned aircraft systems. Following safety standards will be critical to their acceptance," Wilson said.
During the meeting, it became evident that an industry standard for operations safety needed to be established before Hoverfly could move forward in creating a new Flight School. In response, Hoverfly reached out to community and other industry leaders and formed a group to establish a new industry association — the Aerial Robotics Industry Association (ARIA). "ARIA's mission is similar to the FAA's mission – to strive to reach the next level of safety, efficiency, and global leadership in the aerial industry," explained Al Ducharme, a founder of Hoverfly Technologies and associate professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida (UCF). ARIA's goal is to set the standards for the safe operation of aerial robotics for commercial use, and thereby advance the growing community of professional pilots. ARIA will set safety standards, and certifications will be granted by ARIA for flight schools around the country.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Chinese Tech Security Firm Invests In Brazilian Cloud Company
December 17, 2013 | Print | Comments | Category: Business, Security, SoftwareBrazilian cloud computing security company PSafe Technologia announced its third-round financing of USD30 million, including a reported USD25 million infusion from China's Qihoo 360 and USD5 million from Redpoint and Pinnacle.
Qihoo 360 confirmed the news of this investment and said it is an additional investment in PSafe. The Chinese company did not reveal the size of its stake in PSafe. However, it is said that with the investment, Qihoo 360 will become the largest shareholder of the company.
In 2010, Qihoo 360 reportedly formed a partnership with PSafe by providing a small investment and licensing rights. But the cooperation did not last long since Qihoo 360 was not optimistic about the development of PSafe.
PSafe is a Brazilian anti-virus company which has the same-name anti-virus software product. It currently has 30 million users and 20 million monthly users on average. The company does not have direct competitor in Brazil; however, it faces competition from international security makers such as AVG, Avast, McAfee, and Symantec.
Qihoo 360 has recently been expanding its investments in overseas markets. The company earlier purchased 818,500 outstanding shares of KLab, a Japanese mobile game developer, accounting for 2.56% of total shares of the latter.
Qihoo 360's financial report for the third quarter of 2013 showed that the company's operating revenue was USD187.9 million, a year-on-year increase of 124%; and its net profit attributable to shareholders was USD44.5 million, a year-on-year increase of 245%.

An honest answer from me? And I don't intend to get you fired up, but you did ask and open the door. I don't think it's just a second amendment view. I know of liberals who own firearms and will fight for their second amendment rights. I don't believe all republicans are good either. I don't trust either head of that 3-headed snake in our government(Dems, Repubs, Libs). I think labeling one's self as a Democrat, Republican, or Liberal is a cop-out. It's a way to excuse one from thinking for one's self. "So and so congresscritter is a dem, repub or lib and I like their views, therefore I am a dem, lib or repub."
However, I view "liberals" as they are loosely defined(which means they could be Democrat, Republican, or "liberal" politically) as no better than robbers, thieves, and kings. I take it a step further than most here probably do. I have a tendency to be honest(which usually translates to BLUNT).
Liberals effectively use the government as a strong-arm to rob from me, whether it be in the form of money, work or effort, and either use it themselves or give it to someone else who didn't earn it and doesn't deserve it. They seem to be under the delusion that some random collective of people have more value than the individual. Sorry, but you asked.
I value the rights of the individual above all others. These days I consider myself a slave. I produce a good or a value and someone else consumes it. The fruits of my effort is not a collective pool for everyone to dip what they need out.
Ok...back on topic before I get a nasty-mod-gram in my box.
Excellent article though.

God will not fix the environmental mess
It's funny how our faith is so selective. When it asks us to do something like love our enemies, it's weak to non-existent. But when we can employ it to our advantage, it soars. Take the issue of the environment. People that aren't normally that trusting in God suddenly have unshakable faith that God is going to fix the problem. Well now, isn't that convenient? We can just keep on with business as usual, with nary a care about the consequences to the Earth, because God is going to take care of everything. Now why didn't I think of that? No change or sacrifice required. Great!
My first reaction is to say the burden of proof lies with those who think God will solve everything. Since when? I didn't see God jump in and save the Jews from the holocaust, stop the oil spill, or miraculously eliminate the AIDS epidemic. God has never stopped great evils and tragedies from happening in human history, and we have no reason to believe that God ever will.

The idea is just to get rid of the comics that had no storyline and put them on first, then get the ongoing series running WITH the story.
Hah, short and... awesome. The characters remind me of Madness somehow but eh, maybe that's because of the gray background and their spherical faces. Maybe it's even intentional? Either way, great work!
Pretty cool!
I saw the webcomics before you did this! MWAHAHAHA! DrunkDuck-dot-com?
Was funny anyways, can't wait to see what you do next! =D
cool one
that was a pretty nice animation. a little bit short overall, but your efforts were pretty good in this one, and i liked the idea behind it.... if this one is just a prequel, then i know i'd like to see the actual animation/series.

The cabins were clean and tidy but somewhat dated. If you are looking for luxury accommodation this is not it. If you just want a bed in clean and tidy room this will suit. The township was interesting and locals very friendly
