A personal surgery preparation regimen"Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I needed a hip replacement," said 57-year-old Zimmer Hip recipient Jodi Seidler. "It started out as an ache in my leg, and soon I couldn't walk." Declining surgery, Jodi spent two painful years in denial going to physical therapy, trying acupuncture, talking to psychics, taking medications and just plain praying for a miracle. Having never undergone surgery, Jodi was fearful of the unknown. "I didn't really understand what was going to happen to me or what it would entail," she said. "I didn't want to be alone and the fear pretty much took over."
It's the Miles – Not the Years!
As hipsters, we at times, are not sure how active to be. Some of us get stuck in 'why me', others go out of their way to be super active to prove bionic hips are as good – if not better – than what we were born with.
Sitting on the sofa and fearing "if we move too much, are "too" active, that our hips won't last as long" – is not the answer for a long an d happy life. Afterall, that is what we wanted – to get our life back, free from pain and fear. As in everything, moderation is the key – and continuing on with life the way we were before is important for our emotional health as well.
When I speak to other hipsters, we are all curious about the LIFE of a hip replacement, even long after our parts have expired. I am a huge chearleader for being your own advocate, and in this light – we must learn about our bodies. How do we feel after we swim, how does running feel to our hips, knees and legs, is walking the best way to feel healthy and play it safe. What I am saying is – listen to YOUR body. Every hip recipeient is different.
So many of us hipsters wonder how long our new hips last us. Sometimes we stay up at night pondering the possible scenarios…hoping we never have to feel that bone on bone pain again, or worry about another surgery. Recalling the times we woke up in the middle of the night with that OMG pain when we moved in our sleep. Or when we had to take comfort in using a cane to help relieve the pain and have assistance in walking. We recall the times when we cried UNCLE and planned for our hip replacement surgery, feeling like a dog or cat going to the vet…heart pounding, an out of body experience. The search and mission of finding the right surgeon, researching the right procedures for us and connecting with others for support, encouragement and education.
I recall when I asked a friend how long a case of golf balls will last me. We both had a good chuckle at the answer, and the humor in the question. The answer was – it depends how you play, and the course you are on.
Like a classic car that needs to be honored and sometimes rebuilt, our bodies are not that dissimilar. Whether we need new tires, an alignment, or new brakes – it's about how we use our bodies, our genetics and what we came into this life with. I consider myself lucky in many ways with a new appreciation of this body of mine, and that now I can also help others who are walking down the path of becoming more bionic.
No matter how you applaud yourself – you are now a proud member of the Hipster Club. We are a community of bionic men and woman around the globe 💪
No one understands bone-on-bone pain or the landscape of the unknown until they face the challenges of a reduced quality of life and the fear of surgery. And, until you have a source of information, support and the knowledge that experience brings…it can be a scary process… Especially to go through or face alone.
For example, I would never have known, if I didn't receive some good tips from a fellow hipster, to ask for anti-nausea pills in the hospital (from the pain medication). I wouldn't have known what special devices to get (my grabber was incredible), or to hook myself up with a buddy to go on walks with or bring me food or take care of my pet in the early days after my hip replacements.
That's why I created Hipster Club, and also hipsterclub.ning.com…
- For support, and to know we are not alone -we are a club, an initiation into becoming bionic.
- We get to share our experience, knowledge and to become a community for each other.
- We get to give and get advice and encouragement during a scary transition. I must add that things have become a bit different from when I got my first hip replacement (at 50). Now they have what I call "drive by replacements"…all in the same day. Every year, every month, every day – they have new developments in replacement surgery. And now with 3-D printing, joint replacements will become totally customized to your own body.
Mentoring with The Hipster Girl
Putting the HIP back in Hip Replacements.
Contact me with any questions you have about the hip replacement process. I've become sort of an expert. With my Journalism background and my inquisitive mind, I should belong to a 12 step group for obsessing about having a hip replacement. I researched so like crazy, and kept a daily journal until one day I started an online Hip Club for people like me. One stop shopping to learn about hip replacements. No need to obsess and stay up all night like I did (unless you want to).
I have had two different hips replaced in two different ways, with two different materials and components. I'm learning it's not the years, it's the miles – so I budget my hips. I don't ski, I don't jog – but that's just me. I love to walk and I love to swim. My left (metal) hip lets me know when I've done too much. It has affected sex a bit, but barely noticeable if it's done right. I notice people as they walk by me, that maybe need or have had a hip replacement. It's some kind of alien connection to other bionics. Finally, instead of saying "why me", let's get in the habit of saying "why not me"…and see what magic we can create for ourselves and for others in our orbit.
Fill out the form below and we will schedule a time for a 20 minute informational and supportive phone call regarding joint replacement do's and don'ts.
PEMF – Heal Your Hips
Nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange between cells.
#PEMF is widely used in orthopedics for the treatment of fractures, depression, bone healing; and stimulates cellular cell & bone repair. Magnetic fields pass through the body – even the bones – as if the body wasn't even there. PEMFs work to repair bones, whether they are damaged by surgery, injury, or disease, and have been found to improve bone regeneration such as occurs with osteoporosis and osteopenia, among other bone destroying conditions.
I 💖 mine so much that I am adding 'distributor' to my entrepreneurial portfolio. I have different sizes and strengths for practitioners, athletes and people with chronic pain.
Message me for more info… I will help you heal your body.
The Hipster Club!
Thanks for finding The Hipster Club….if you got here – You or someone you know, are, or are soon to be, TOO hip. We are a community of hipsters initiated by pain.
No one knows bone-on-bone pain until you have experienced it…woken up in the middle of the night with excruciating no-cartilage pain when turning over…locked and jolted when standing up after sitting for a while…that limp that causes people to do a double-take on your gait. We could go on and on…
Soon, the operation day arrives side by side with your fear of the unknown. Your fear of pain, pain medication and the what-ifs of surgery wakes up before you do. The 'fat lady has sung', we bit the bullet and soon we, like magic, wonder why we ever waited so long.
We are here to support, educate, inspire and transform our hipster status, by becoming and remaining our own advocates. And this includes helping others…so, all I ask is to pay it forward.
Everyone is a Patient!
Stay tuned for the bionic "Adventures of Hipster Girl"….
Hip Revision Surgery |
Hip Revision Surgery Total hip implant demonstrating socket, liner, ball and stemTotal hip replacement or total hip arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which an artificial hip joint prosthesis is implanted to replace an arthritic or damaged joint. A hip replacement includes an artificial hip socket and femoral stem with an attached femoral head picture at right.Hip replacement surgery is very effective in relieving pain and improving patient function and quality of life. However, hip replacements may "wear out" or fail for other reasons, and occasionally require a "hip revision surgery." In hip revision surgery, the worn out or failed prosthesis is replaced with a new hip implant.

New method for hip replacement wins favor with some surgeons – The Washington Post
Over the past two decades, the number of Americans having total hip replacements has more than doubled, to more than 300,000 a year. Though most patients eventually walk again without pain or the aid of a cane, recovery and rehabilitation can be rigorous, painful and lengthy. The surgery is extensive: As its name suggests, it involves removing the joint — the damaged bone and cartilage — and replacing it with prosthetic parts made of metal, plastic or ceramics. Typically, surgeons enter the joint from the rear, which requires cutting through muscle and cartilage. But with a relatively new procedure, surgeons enter from the front and only stretch the muscles aside, avoiding the cutting and minimizing pain and recovery time. According to those who use this anterior technique, the benefits are substantial.

The Importance of Having a "HIP" Buddy!
It is important to have a HIP Buddy. A HIP Buddy is someone who is there for you during and after your Hip Replacement…someone you can count on to be there for you.
Someone that you can count on to be there for you during this process, mostly during and after your hip replacement. Its someone that checks in with you, someone that maybe comes and helps with cleaning, takes your for a walk; kind of like a puppy dog only you're going to be on a walker or crutches, and they're there just to support you.
Total Hip Replacement Implants
A total hip replacement replaces your arthritic hip joint and eliminates the damaged bearing surfaces that are causing pain. The design of the implant offers you renewed stability and minimizes the wear process. The traditional metal and polyethylene implants have been in use since the 1960's but technological advances since then have made other materials such as ceramic increasingly popular.
How Google's Calico aims to fight aging and 'solve death' – CNN.com
Calico — or the California Life Company — has been set up to research subjects related to aging and its associated diseases. Announcing Calico at a media briefing, Google said that the new and independent company will largely focus on age-attendant conditions such as Alzheimer's, cancer and heart disease.
Larry Page, Google's ever youthful CEO said: "Illness and aging affect all our families. With some longer term, moonshot thinking around healthcare and biotechnology, I believe we can improve millions of lives."

Week 1: Talking to your Health Care Provider
You get ready for a date. You prepare for tasks and meetings at work. How do you prepare for visits to your health care provider?
The first step is to find a health care provider you feel comfortable with. If you can share how you feel, both physically and emotionally, then you and your health care provider can work together as partners in your health care.
A basic plan for your visit can help. Before you arrive, make a list of things you want to talk about. Put your questions in order, so you are sure to ask about the most important ones first.
During your visit, explain your symptoms: what is bothering you, when it started, and if you have noticed any pattern. Ask for clear explanations about your condition, any medication or treatment, and instructions on how to recover after an illness, injury, or hospital procedure.
Consider bringing a family member or friend. Let them know in advance what you want from your visit. With good communication, you and your health care provider can team up to make sure you get the best health care possible.

Leveraging ePatient Communications
Posted by bryonmain on February 28th, 2013
As social media in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry becomes more widespread, a growing trend is ePatient communication. The internet has become the go-to source of information for many people; that holds true as they research diagnoses, check up on current research, and connect with others for support.
Citizen bloggers, with a particular diagnosis, educate themselves, and are a key source of information for others with a similar diagnosis. In the digital age, where nearly everyone has a smartphone, these "man on the street" blogs offer a personal voice, answering questions and addressing areas of concern, as well as offering support. Patient bloggers, read by a wide range of patients and caregivers, can be a key source of internet buzz, when they offer a review or opinion on a new therapy or drug treatment option. Pharmaceutical companies can network with these bloggers, gaining both a platform for patient marketing, but also a window into the concerns and trends patients notice.
It's Time to have a HIP Buddy!
It is important to have a HIP Buddy. A HIP Buddy is someone who is there for you during and after your Hip Replacement….someone you can count on to be there for you.
Someone that you can count on to be there for you during this process, mostly during and after your hip replacement. Its someone that checks in with you, someone that maybe comes and helps with cleaning, takes your for a walk; kind of like a puppy dog only you're going to be on a walker or crutches, and they're there just to support you.
More importantly for the people that live alone, there is a sense of isolation, or that you're different, or that you're going through something and people forget about you. Someone just to check in on you really helps to document the process that you're in.
Besides your hip journal that you are going to be writing in, your hip buddy also gives you feedback and supports you through whatever you are going through into this initiation into being bionic.

What will a new hip cost?
Only 16% of U.S. hospitals surveyed in a recent study gave a complete price quote for a common hip surgery, highlighting the obstacles many patients face in comparison shopping.
Pricing information remains difficult to obtain from medical providers and the figures that are quoted vary widely despite government efforts to make the process more consumer friendly, according to a study published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. for Internal Medicine.
Jaime Rosenthal, a student at Washington University in St. Louis who led the research, called two hospitals in every state and Washington, D.C., as well as the top 20-ranked orthopedic hospitals according to U.S. News and World Report.
She asked for the lowest bundled price, hospital plus physician fees, on a total hip replacement for a 62-year-old grandmother. She said her relative was uninsured but had the means to pay out of pocket.
The researchers found that 16% of the 122 hospitals contacted provided a complete bundled price. An additional 47% of hospitals could offer a complete price when hospitals and other medical providers were contacted separately, the study said.
And those price quotes varied considerably, from $11,100 to $125,798 for the same hip surgery. The study said Medicare and large insurers often pay $10,000 to $25,000 for joint replacement surgery.
This issue of healthcare pricing has taken on added importance since consumers are responsible for a growing share of their medical bills. Policymakers also hope that wider disclosure of medical prices could help slow down rising healthcare costs.

The Trouble with the New Hip Trend
A few years back, many folks with hurting hips were happy to learn that a newer bone-preserving procedure called hip resurfacing could spare them from the more drastic hip replacement.
But: A huge study has now shown that the newer procedure is more likely to lead to problems than the traditional total hip replacement.
Ashley William Blom, MD, lead author of the new study, weighed in on the results and what they mean for patients contemplating hip surgery.

Office Visit Tips
Your visit with an orthopaedic surgeon is an important meeting that can be most effective if you plan ahead. It's important that you give your doctor the information he or she needs and that you understand what your doctor is recommending. The following checklist will help you and your doctor discuss the issues most important for getting the most out of the visit.
Before you go
- Find out the basics about the office. Where is it? What time should you arrive? If you're going to drive, where can your park? Do you need to bring your insurance card or a managed care medical referral?
- Assemble your records such as results and copies of X-rays, other imaging studies and lab tests and personally take the records to the doctor's office.
- Make written lists of:
- Medications you are taking.
- Your medical history, such as prior treatments for heart or thyroid problems or operations, even those not related to your current problem.
- Your concerns about your condition (pains, loss of mobility or function).
- Consider asking a friend or family member to accompany you. If you need a translator, ask another adult to come with you; don't rely on a child to translate.
- Dress appropriately. For spine and many problems involving the arms and legs, you may be asked to disrobe. Wear loose clothing that's easy to take off and put on.
Don't get too focused on materials being used…
In planning a hip replacement, one mistake both patients and doctors can make is to become overly concerned with the prosthetics rather than the surgical approach itself.
"People get too focused on what kind of parts and materials are being used," Dr. Matta said. "That's a good discussion to have, but what's more important is what the surgeon will do during the operation. As surgeons, we need to ensure that the muscles around the hip aren't disturbed, the parts are fitted and oriented properly, and that the leg length is correct. And it behooves us to perform hip replacements that don't rely on our patients restricting their movements for the rest of their lives."
Anterior approach patients have no restrictions on their movements. In contrast, patients undergoing traditional surgeries have an extensive list of movements they must avoid to prevent dislocating the new hip. Simple actions such as crossing legs and tying shoes normally may be permanently prohibited. Yoga is out. Even sitting on the toilet can risk dislocation.

Twins, 56, have simultaneous, free hip replacements
Twins, 56, have simultaneous, free hip replacements
Sisters Deborah and Sandra Fanelli were high school cheerleaders and, later, professional singers and dancers for 20 years. But in recent years, the twins have developed arthritis so severe that it's hard for them to walk.
On Friday, the 56-year-olds underwent simultaneous and free hip replacement operations at a hospital near Philadelphia. The surgeries came at no cost to the women because of Operation Walk USA. The program offers free hip and knee replacements for patients without health insurance.
Doctors, hospitals and implant manufacturers donate time and equipment for the procedures. A hip replacement would normally cost about $16,000, plus hospitalization.
About 200 patients nationwide received new joints through the program on Friday.

Cost of Hip Replacement – Consumer Information and Prices Paid – CostHelper.com
A total hip replacement — replacement of an entire hip joint with artificial parts — usually is performed on patients whose hip has been so damaged by arthritis or injury that there is severe pain that limits daily activity.
Typical costs:
- For patients without health insurance, a total hip replacement usually will cost between $31,839 and $44,816, with an average cost of $39,299, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. However, some medical facilities offer uninsured discounts. At the Kapiolani Medical Center in Aiea, Hawaii, where the full price is about $33,000, an uninsured patient would pay a discounted rate of $20,212 to $23,581.
- Hip replacement surgery usually is covered by health insurance, according to DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company and major manufacturer of orthopaedic devices. And, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, any necessary surgery, including hip replacement, would be covered, unless it is experimental or covered in a specific exclusion.
- Patients with health insurance typically pay out-of-pocket expenses up to several thousand dollars, or their out-of-pocket maximum. For example, at Dartmought-Hitchcock Medical Center, a Medicare patient could pay up to $3,957, including deductibles and coinsurance. And a patient with health insurance that has a typical 20 percent copay for surgeries and a $3,000 out-of-pocket maximum would pay the full $3,000 at DHMC.

Hip Replacement Timing – Why Delaying May Be the Wrong Choice
Getting a hip replacement is almost like an investment. Here you take the hit early on – being put out of action and going through considerable discomfort – with the pay off coming later down the line when you will hopefully be able to return to your normal life in less pain than you were before.
Like any investment, the sooner you make it, the more you stand to gain from it. Many people put off their hip replacement and choose to instead wait for it to get worse, or wait for it to be a 'better time'. The truth though really is that there is not really ever going to be a 'good' time. If you think you have a lot on your plate now, then you probably didn't foresee it a few months ago. Similarly in a few months you are likely to have a different selection of just-as-pressing issues. What you are doing by opting to have your hip replacement as soon as possible is getting it out of the way so that you can return to your normal life with no pain and this is highly important.
Another reason to have a hip replacement sooner rather than later is that having a bad hip can cause you to place more weight on your other leg and this in turn can result in you ending up with two bad hips. At the same time you are more likely to have accidents such as trips and falls. In general you are also better able to deal with surgery and all forms of trauma the younger you are, then there is the fact that your hip joint will deteriorate more the longer you put it off, resulting in stronger medication and worse deformity of the bone which can make a hip replacement more difficult. So it makes sense to have your surgery early on from a health perspective. Again in this way it is an investment – experience pain now, but thereby stop yourself from having as many future conditions. Finally, as you never know what other complications may arise, or how long you might have to remain on the waiting list, it is a good idea to get the procedure out of the way early on so that you are not caught out later. You also have no guarantee that your hip will not suddenly get a lot worse and then you will regret not having been put on the waiting list sooner.

Meridian Tooth Chart Shows Teeth and Organ Relationships
Meridian Tooth Chart Shows Teeth and Organ Relationships
The front teeth are connected to the kidneys. The stomach is connected to the premolars. This is something that practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have known for thousands of years.
Most people are familiar with Chinese Medicine or acupuncture and have heard about meridians , the channels through which energy flows in the body. Each organ, gland and body structure has an associated meridian, including the teeth.
What does all this mean to health and wellness? Well, if someone has a bad tooth, the energy flow through the meridian belonging to that tooth will be altered. This in turn can affect the health of all the other organs on that meridian. For example, Tooth Number 14, the upper left first molar tooth, is on the same meridian with the kidneys, liver, spleen, stomach and breast. So, if this tooth has a problem, it may affect energy flow through the meridian, and the health of those organs may be affected as well.

Pioneering news: stem cell hip replacements
The prosthetic implants are being developed by scientists at Glasgow University in collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons at the city's Southern General Hospital and they hope to have a prototype ready within 10 years.
The move follows a breakthrough last year by a team at the university's Institute of Molecular, Cell and Systems Biology when they succeeded in creating a special plastic surface capable of controlling what stem cells become – a technique that was previously impossible.
The plastic is covered in tiny pits 120 nanometres across which, when stem cells are placed on the surface, encourages them to grow and spread across the pits in a way which ensures they differentiate into therapeutically useful cells.
While the implant itself will be made of an advanced polymer, already commonly used in spinal and other orthopaedic procedures, it will be coated for the first time in the university's unique plastic. As a result, once inserted into a patient's bone marrow – a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells – these can be made to divide and differentiate into fresh bone cells, creating a much stronger and more durable implant.
Wise Words…
Getting lost in the wrong question can only bring you the wrong answer.
MRI Compatible Metals | eHow.com
Orthopedic surgeons favor titanium implants for their strength and compatibility with body tissues. Titanium's nonmagnetic properties make it compatible for use with an MRI as well. Joint replacements, surgical screws, bone plates and pacemaker cases all use titanium. In addition, doctors can use surgical tools made of the metal in MRI rooms.
Drs. Oz and Roizen: Antibiotics, hip replacement and dental work – The Denver Post
Drs. Oz and Roizen: Antibiotics, hip replacement and dental work…
Q: I had a hip replacement last year and was told that I need to take antibiotics before I go to the dentist. Really?! — Katie K., Brookings, S.D.
A: It's not only a good idea, it's essential. Reputable dentists won't work on you if they know you've had an implant and refuse the antibiotic. During dental procedures, bacteria living in your mouth — and there are tens of thousands of them — can spread into your blood and lodge on the surface of artificial things, like hip, knee or heart-valve replacements.
Some of these newer replacement parts have embedded antibiotics, but you still need antibiotics for a dental procedure.
The immune system can't "see" bacteria resting on inorganic (ceramic, metal or plastic) implants, so no white blood cells come to attack and kill them off.
They thrive, and you can get a whopper of an infection. Also, over time, a bacterial film can build up in and around the replacement joint, and that can begin to loosen the joint and cause other problems.
Get a prescription for the antibiotics from your orthopedic surgeon or dentist.

Biocompatibility – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biocompatibility is related to the behavior of biomaterials in various contexts. The term refers to the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific situation.[1] The ambiguity of the term reflects the ongoing development of insights into how biomaterials interact with the human body and eventually how those interactions determine the clinical success of a medical device (such as pacemaker, hip replacement or stent). Modern medical devices and prostheses are often made of more than one material so it might not always be sufficient to talk about the biocompatibility of a specific material.[2]
Indeed, since the immune response and repair functions in the body are so complicated it is not adequate to describe the biocompatibility of a single material in relation to a single cell type or tissue. Sometimes one hears of biocompatibility testing that is a large battery of in vitro test[3] that is used in accordance with ISO 10993 (or other similar standards) to determine if a certain material (or rather biomedical product) is biocompatible. These tests do not determine the biocompatibility of a material,[4] but they constitute an important step towards the animal testing and finally clinical trials that will determine the biocompatibility of the material in a given application, and thus medical devices such as implants or drug delivery devices.
Hip Replacement Implant Materials | BoneSmart
Hip Replacement Implant Materials
There are a large number of hip implant devices on the market. Each manufacturer has different models but each style falls into one of four basic material categories:
metal on plastic (polyethylene or UHMWPE)
metal on metal (MoM)
ceramic on plastic (UHMWPE)
ceramic on ceramic (CoC)
These category names reference the materials used for the implant bearings. The stem and ball fit into and articulate against the cup or acetabulum. Each component can be made of one of several materials.
There is no consensus in the orthopedic community regarding the single "best" bearing or material. The choice generally comes down to your surgeon's preference. Each surgeon has innumerable reasons for choosing one device over another, including his or her personal experience as well as tool and implantation method preferences.

The many baby boomers considering hip or knee replacements in the coming years are likely to have to pay more to get them. The question is, How much more? And could the problems stretch beyond a higher price tag?
Under the Affordable Care Act, the Obama administration's signature health-care-overhaul law, medical-device manufacturers will pay a 2.3% tax on sales of such products starting in 2013. That tax will affect everything from surgical tools to oxygen tanks to wheelchairs. It is one of several features of the law designed to raise money to cover the uninsured — it's expected to raise an additional $20 billion by 2019.

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?
The hip is a 'ball and socket' joint that is susceptible to wear and tear which can be caused by injury or various bone diseases including osteoarthritis. This can often lead to severe pain and lack of mobility affecting your daily life, which will worsen over time. If medication cannot help, then the best option maybe an operation where your affected hip joint is replaced with an artificial one.
After the operation, you should be able to walk much better and carry out more of your normal activities.

How HIP is TOO HIP?
I've been through a lot of security check points in the past 5 bionic years of airport travel, I've been prodded in New York, wanded in Washington DC, intimately viewed in Hawaii, and touched in San Francisco.
BUT…I have never been wanded, prodden THEN taken to a private room, and asked to show my hip replacement scars before…that was a first (in London, by the way).
So, down went my pants to present my surgery souvenirs to polite but perfect strangers.
I know the world is changing, with heightened security and all that it entails – however how much is too much?
I ask YOU!
My Secret Weapon for Joint Pain
If there's something I've learned over the last 20 plus years, it's that everyone is a patient. Everybody has pain. Every body ages. And living with constant pain can create a sad, lonely, and hopeless life. I was a young vibrant, enthusiastic woman who began to suffer from joint pain due to osteoarthritis and dysplasia at a young age. When my Hip pain turned into bone-on-bone chronic pain – I needed to find relief.
I tried everything known to man. Pills, creams, tens and PEFM machines, hands-on-healing, prayer and a healer or two. Nothing worked in the long term, yet my search continued until I could no longer walk. Since crying "Uncle" and having my hips replaced, I've become a health advocate for others, creating support groups and a hip replacement blog called www.hipsterclub.com. When you've been through bone on bone pain, you realize that no one understands that level of pain unless they have experienced it themselves.
My experience is when you've been through that type of joint pain, it feels like you're part of a club. I feel connected to others who have gone through this dark night of the soul, those who felt isolated, alone and hopelessly in pain.
When I learned about 4jointz for joint pain relief, I was curious and hopeful for deep pain relief. Upon first usage, the strong smell of eucalyptus was a bit overwhelming. But after the first day of applications the smell transitioned into more of a healing sensation when I rubbed it around the joints of my hips, knees, toes and fingers. And the cream blended in quite nicely and smoothly. I felt the deep penetration, along with the feeling that healing was truly underway.
I was excited to try 4jointz cream, especially since pain pills and pain patches hadn't given me the desired result of enduring pain relief. It's been two weeks using 4jointz – two to three times a day, as the directions suggested. It seems a small price to relieve or eventually erase the joint pain that has affected me for decades.
It really feels like a god-send because I don't have to worry about the side effects from other methods of pain relief from the pharmacy. It feels like I have a secret weapon against joint pain now; a secret I really want to share with others in pain.
I feel the confidence that this formula is creating layers of pain relieving protection that no other remedy or pill has offered me. I am excited to include it in my healing toolkit.
This a sponsored post; I received a free sample of 4Jointz.

Andre George Louis Onslow (July 27, 1784 – October 3, 1853) was a French composer.
George Onslow was born and lived his entire life in France, the son of an English father and French mother. He studied piano with Johann Baptist Cramer as a young boy whilst in London. His only composition teacher was Anton Reicha with whom he studied in Paris between 1807-1808.
His 36 string quartets and 34 string quintets were, during his own lifetime and up to the end of the 19th century, held in the highest regard, particularly in Germany, Austria and England where he was regularly placed in the front rank of composers. His work was admired by both Beethoven and Schubert, the latter modeling his own 2 cello quintet (D.956) on those of Onslow and not, as is so often claimed, on those of Boccherini. Robert Schumann, perhaps the foremost music critic during the first part of the 19th century, regarded Onslow's chamber music on a par with that of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Mendelssohn was also of this opinion. Publishers such as Breitkopf & Härtel and Kistner were among many who competed to bring out his works. Such was Onslow's reputation that he was elected to succeed Luigi Cherubini as Director of the prestigious Académie des beaux-arts, based on the excellence of his chamber music and this, in an "Opera Mad France", which had little regard for chamber music. However, after the First World War, his music, along with that of so many other fine composers, fell into oblivion and up until 1984, the bicentennial of his birth, he remained virtually unknown. Onslow's writing was unique in that he was successfully able to merge the drama of the opera into the chamber music idiom perfected by the Vienna masters.
Besides his string quartets and quintets which were and remain his best known and regarded works, he wrote 10 piano trios, three piano quintets, a quintet for piano and winds, 2 sextets for winds and piano, a septet for winds and piano, a nonet for strings & winds, 6 sonatas for violin and piano, and one for cello and piano.
Beyond his chamber music, he composed four symphonies, four operas (including at least one, Le Colporteur, themes from which formed the subject of fantasies by other composers, like Friedrich Kuhlau's for flute and piano), several works for piano alone as well as five vocal works. His second symphony (D minor, opus 42) shows some commonality of style with Beethoven, particularly in the dramatic first movement, and with Schubert.

See a list of Dentistry Programs by Clicking Here!
Dentistry is the area of study and practice related to treatment of the mouth and teeth. Individuals in this field will work with patients to maintain proper oral care, provide treatment for infection or cavities, and perform surgery and removal if necessary. Individuals in this field may also provide prescriptions in order to facilitate care.
Education and Schools
Individuals wishing to become dentists must first earn a bachelor's degree in a related field. Upon completion, students are asked to take the Dental Acceptance Test (DAT), which must be passed in order to be considered by most dental schools. Once admitted, students will receive an education that may vary in length based on multiple factors, including if a specialty is being pursued and whether or not the dentist wishes to be able to teach. Individuals will earn a doctorate level degree, the name of which will depend on the type of study.
A curriculum will include:
- Local Anesthesiology
- Anatomy
- Biology
- Physiology
- Oral Care
Dental schools can be rated based on the success of their graduates, particularly whether or not the school's students have high default rates on loans. High default rates mean a lack of successful dentists which can be equated to the education offered. Additionally, programs that offer assistance in residency placement and assistance in licensure examination preparation for a given state are of higher value.
Employment Opportunities
Dentists are always in high demand, and as such job growth is expected to increase greatly over the next decade, particularly as population ages and healthcare becomes more commonplace. Oral health is important in overall health, and as this becomes more commonly accepted, the field is expected to continue its growth trajectory.
The American Dental Association is a professional organization the protects and promotes the interest of dentists who encouraging the maintaining of high standards of care among its dentists.

Money Mistake #4: Not having a budget
If you want to take control of your money, you need to know where it's going and plan in advance how to spend it. Bottom line: You need a budget that works for you. This may sound daunting, but it's easy if you follow the 50/20/30 Rule, which is flexible enough to fit any situation. Basically, the rule says that from your take-home pay, you should allocate:
- 50% to Essential Expenses, which include housing, transportation, utilities and groceries
- 20% to Financial Priorities, which are retirement, savings and debt (in that order)
- 30% to Lifestyle Choices, which are gifts, travel, dining out, shopping and everything else
Then track your spending to make sure that you're sticking with your budget. You can do this through a myriad number of ways, including pen and paper. But using an automated system will ensure that you don't miss any expenses, and you'll see trends in your spending.
RELATED: Budgeting 101
Money Mistake #5: Living paycheck to paycheck
While it's great to know where every dollar will go, the reality is that you can't predict everything. For this reason, when you create your budget, include a small "slush fund" that could cover that $100 unexpected car repair or surprise doctor's bill. It's a little cushion that will also prevent you from overdrawing on your checking account, and paying unnecessary financial fees.
Money Mistake #6: Not having enough in emergency savings
We've extolled the virtues of emergency funds before, but it turns out that a lot of people still only keep $1,000 or $2,000 aside for "emergency money." This may help you with a last-minute plane ticket, but it won't tide you over if you get really sick. And if you have what sounds like a lot more--say, $25,000--consider whether that makes sense for your income. After all, if you're making $100,000 a year, that's not going to last long if you lose your job.
So ...
- Accumulate six months' worth of income in your emergency savings
- Only use it for true emergencies
- When your income or expenses change (especially if they go up), make sure to increase your fund proportionately
RELATED: I Want to Build Up Savings
Money Mistake #7: Not understanding the importance of your credit score and credit report
One of the toughest things about personal finance: getting your situation exactly to your liking takes time. And that is especially true of your credit score and credit report. These two items are essentially a record of how you've handled your finances over time--and they'll determine whether or not you'll be eligible for thousands (even hundreds of thousands) in savings when you go to make your biggest purchases, such as a car or a house.
Develop these habits now, so you're ready when that big day arrives:
- Pay your credit cards and other debt payments on time every month
- Use just 10% to 30% of the credit available to you
- Check your credit score and credit report three times a year
- Dispute any mistakes on your report

Lenco hydraulic trim tabs ensures a pleasurable ride to your favorite fishing waters.
Electronics and Electric
An impressive new Raymarine E120 integrated navigation system is located at the pilot station and includes GPS, plotter, depth sounder and radar. Two loud hailers are connected one of the Icom VHF radios, one placed at each helm. The aft steering station has a 15 HP flatscreen that is a repeater for the Raymarine E120. The navigation display can also be fed through the large flatscreen HP monitor forward. Charting software is also on the HP computer. Solo Tu has three independent electric wipers on the forward facing windows to keep visibility in top form. Three water watch alarms are in each hull and two 500 gph sump pumps will keep you afloat if you encounter any notorious Alaska swells.

While Two new start batteries, a Xantrex 2000 watt battery charger and inverter, Yamaha 55 amp alternator, and four golf cart batteries will keep you powered up while underway.

Actually 17 of their 22 high school commits hail from Georgia. Smart is fencing in the state like Harbaugh is doing. They have 12 of the top 17 players in the state currently committed, with more expected.

UGA's problem was a very weak offensive line and first year Head coach, OC and QB. I'd take their offensive skill position players any day. Eason will be a first round draft pick, if not the first pick.

Poggi too. Also all the schools Wilson had on his list were southern schools except Michigan. That always makes me nervous.

You cannot put the '16 offense anywhere near the offenses of '97 or '06. Compare the NFLers on the rosters.

I foolishly feared you would be sucked into the woe is us and apologist mentalities of so many on this blog. However, with a surgeon's coolness you cut to the heart of the matter of this Game, status of the program, and goals for the college football playoff. I truly appraciate not only the concise analysis, but the leadership you provide to the group in times of despair.
On another note, it happens every year, Clemson and/or Washington are going to lose to their underdog opponent on a neutral site. There is also no way I see psu beating Wisconsin.

As a father with two kids in college, one who chose not to incur the Uof M $58,000 out of state price tag, the whole situation is just sad. It also reminds me of the housing bubble. How long before all the defaults on the student loans?

Thanks, but I'm confused about the reported TE need. We have 10 scholarship TEs (not counting Poggi or Hill) either committed or on the roster. I know Harbaugh likes them, but geez how many do we need? Need OLBs, CB and S going forward.

What is the benfit to Michigan? There have been some great and some awful games. We already have two big rivalries, with several others claiming a rivalry with us. We compete for the same recruits a great deal. With the 9 game conference schedule I guess I do not have a problem playing them every ten years or so mixed in with a rotation of one game a year against a national power/academic schools. The other two games would be lesser Power 5 schools or two non-power 5 opponents. How about a rotation of Florida, Georgia, Texas, ND, Cal, UCLA, Washington, USC, UNC and UVA?

Travel: Visit Ocala horse farms
By Debi Lander
Ocala, in central Florida, bills itself as the "Horse Capital of the World." I always figured that title belonged to Kentucky, but I discovered I was wrong. The Ocala/Marion region leads all other counties in total number of horses and ponies in residence, with more than 70,000 acres of thoroughbred breeding and training farms.
Capt. David's Fishing Report
By David Lifka
It's hard to believe, but there are shrimp in the river right now. Unfortunately in Duval and St. Johns counties, the months of March and April are closed to shrimping. Winter shrimp in our area of the river is not unheard of, but it is somewhat of a rare occurrence. With a milder than normal winter, and a shortage of rainfall occurring, conditions have been right for shrimp to be much farther up the river than usual for this time of year.
Gardening: Another spring
By Lesley Arrandale
The seasons roll around, and before we know it the robins will have passed through and our overwintering birds will have left for their more northerly nesting grounds. Depending on temperatures, lawns will soon be greening up, we will be planting our summer vegetables and perhaps seeking new shrubs and perennials to fill in gaps that winter may have left behind.

Jessica Rotter - Pray For Rain.
Background words - Jessica Rotter is able to transcend creative boundaries and defy what's expected of a modern female musician. The songstress' voice has been heard across multiple genres, from movies, TV shows and commercials to backing vocals and collaborations with other artists—all in addition to her original songs. The list of artists she has worked with reads like a who's who of the music industry today: Daft Punk, Carole King, Alicia Keys, Sam Smith, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and others.
Rotter's family roots are steeped in music, with her grandfather writing songs for Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. With this background, Rotter describes herself as a "musical storyteller" with classical training from Pepperdine University in opera, musical theatre, and directing for theatre and film. She is just as comfortable using her voice in a major feature film (credits include Pitch Perfect 1 & 2 and Frozen) as she is performing one of her original songs live.
Following the success of charting #1 on HypeMachine with her mashup of Stay/Animal with Emily Colombier, Rotter is embarking on her most powerful and ambitious project to date; the full length release of Plains. Produced by Cazz Brindis and mixed by Scott M. Smith (Carole King, John Mayer, Katy Perry), the 11 track record is breathtakingly stunning and cinematic. Most uniquely, Plains is organically raw with the listener being able to hear breath in every track, a rarity in today's over produced musical landscape.
In the album's leading single "Pray for Rain", Rotter poignantly describes wrestling with falling in love in "uncertain times, lost times and times of revelation." On the track "Stars", you can clearly hear Rotter's past of free spirited travels and musical influences of early 60s folk and Americana. "Let Me Go" is a well-crafted, catchy and emotional pop tune expressing the restless moments found in relationships. Plains will be released April 22nd.
'Pray For Rain' explains very clearly why Jessica Rotter has worked with so many top artists. Her vocal abilities are quite special and this song really showcases that. Musically thing get better still, with the excellent production, heightened more, as music and vocals weave around each other.
Em George - The Grind.
Background promo - Following on from three successful singles, with one ("Murderers On The Inside") being optioned by HBO and remixed by LA based producer Stephen Kozmeniuk (Madonna, Kayne West) comes Em George's fourth release "The Grind" which is the first single from her debut EP.
Produced by Ryan Miller (Oliver Tank, The Delta Riggs, Magic Bones) and Matt O'Connor at The A&R Department (Harts, Magic Bones), it features stripped back production, raw vocals and resonating, wistful lyrics. It's an exciting release for this innovative artist.
This first release from her debut EP follows on from her third single, "Paper Hearts" in 2015. It spent two weeks in the AMRAP Metro and Regional charts reaching number three. It was also featured in The Music Network alongside artists such as C.W Stoneking. It was released to radio in United States receiving airplay in New York, Texas and California.
After playing at various live venues around Sydney such as Venue 505, The Vanguard, Oxford Art Factory, Brighton Up Bar, Bondi Bowling Club, FBi Social and The Sly Fox, Em George has built up a unique live performance style that is all her own, forging a path in the live music scene. "The Grind" by Em George will be released 4th of March 2016.
'The Grind' allows Em George to demonstrate her vocal talent, with this passionately delivered song. The contrast between her singing and the delightfully stripped back, acoustic background is excellent. This deserves to be heard.
Hannah Lou Clark - It's Your Love.
Background promo - Hannah Lou Clark has announced a brand new EP Its Your Love, due for release 22nd April on her own label Quatre Femmes Records via PIAS.
Extensive touring around the release of debut EP Silent Type, gave a fresh perspective on certain things in Hannah's life. Its Your Love was written over this touring period and sees Hannah experiment further sonically with interesting sounds and textures and vintage drum machines. Winning a Rhythm Ace on Ebay, became the musical catalyst for the EP as well as the time previously spent collaborating with artists such as Rob Ellis (Torres, Anna Calvi, PJ Harvey) and Deb Goodge (My Bloody Valentine) .The completion of this EP marked the end of a life chapter, and the beginning of a new one.
Hannah said of the EP - "Sometimes in life it feels as though people are holding a gun to your head, and you have to suck it up and get on with it. I wanted the music to replicate that repetitive feeling of frustration. This whole EP is really about that realisation, in three chapters."
Its Your Love offers an artist in full command of her voice and her instrument, a woman who knows exactly what she wants to offer listeners and who isn't afraid to cover sunlight with clouds. The title track sees the protagonist trapped inside a small wooden drum machine, and driven mad by the Bossa nova.
Hannah has announced her first UK headline tour, the news follows stunning headline shows at St. Pancras Church and Southbank Centre's Purcell Room and support tours with the likes of Ezra Furman, Thurston Moore and Gaz Coombes including an incredible Roundhouse 'In The Round' show. With more festivals in both the UK & Europe to be announced soon this year is set to be an exciting one for HLC
April Headline Dates:
Thu 21 Apr 2016 UK Birmingham Sunflower Lounge
Fri 22 Apr 2016 UK Manchester The Eagle Inn
Sat 23 Apr 2016 UK Edinburgh Cabaret Voltaire, The Big Discovery
Sun 24 Apr 2016 UK Glasgow Broadcast

Wed 27 Apr 2016 UK London The Victoria

Sat 30 Apr Live At Leeds.
The opening 'drum machine' beats had me expecting something quite different, from the powerful and superb 'It's Your Love'. It's no nonsense delivery and intense vocals makes for one potent and pleasing song.

Education software firm boss Richard Marett talks about the challenges of doing business in Asia and why he thinks Virgin is disappointing
Education chief Richard Marett warns against hiring a car while on a business trip to Vietnam, where he found himself in a life-threatening situation at every major junction.
"Traffic lights were introduced about seven or eight years ago and the local population thought they were just for decoration," he says. "They have a continuous flow system and at major junctions people just drive straight through. You think you are heading for certain death, but somehow it just works. I can remember being with a taxi driver who went through a junction, realised he had gone too far and, without blinking,
