If it works there should be lots of data to back it up. I'd ask for the peer reviewed research article in a respected journal that backs up the claim. Until then I'd respectfully decline. I'd *want* to tell them where they could get a rash, but I'd control the urge. If they do come up with a paper, well you can always get cortisone cream. Shawn |

It does seem to ease the tendon-sheath pain, but after my last rash, we've gone back to ultrasound rubs with cortisone. Or something. Eh. Nothing seems to help. I think I'm gimped for life. Even my PT says that if it isn't improving, there's no point in continuing the sessions. But where do I go from there? -- monique "Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live." -- Mark Twain |

No, it could get a lot worse, I'm sure. It's just that it's not getting *better*. But who needs to be able to lift things with their primary (dominant) hand, right? -- monique "Get a bicycle.

Even my PT says that if it isn't improving, there's no point in continuing the sessions. But where do I go from there? Cortisone/lidicaine injections? Its not in your PT's toolbox, so they may be ambivalent or even negative about it. Shots worked well on my elbow (others here have benefited as well). Ask your doc. Dragon Naturally Speaking. Seriously, are you protecting it from overuse? Are you taking your vitamin I or some other anti inflammatory regularly? Decreasing inflammation helps healing. IIRC you're in your 20s. It'll heal if you let it. I didn't get my first damaged-for-life injury till I was 30 (everything else got better before that). Remember ski season's still a few months off. :-) Shawn |

Learning to ride a unicycle taks pretty incredible dedication, I think. I remember learning to use a pogo stick when I was a kid. Took me _weeks_ of completely focused effort before I could do more than one hop. After that, it wasn't long before I could spend all afternoon on the thing. We grownups don't have that kind of perseverence. CC |
