"Although burns from low-voltage sources are usually less severe than those from high-voltage sources, patients may still complain of paresthesias for an extended period, experience cardiac dysrhythmias, or have cataracts develop if the shock occurs close to the face or head.4"
9/25 I wasn't a bad day, as day of past have been. But, it wasn't a painless day either
Update re 09/24 entry; It's Becky at RWC, not brenda; Well, now I'm not sure about that. Becky was my initial contact, perhaps it was Brenda who called on friday.
Tighter this am, more pain creeping around shoulder socked and less in the arm muscles - elbow has more ache, and knee slight ache, Now I want to move forward with my treatment, but what am I to do? To continue from last entry. Protocol, paperwork, information - that's what I asked for earlier, that's what I asked for monday when I was told this would go to the insurance, that is what I need to get to provider to make it better. And BTW, why is it
muscle cramp during day, worse in afternoon. seems like getting tired of repetive motions-affecting shoulder and arm muscles. a few ouches today from twisting motions, and just being tired. Got a call from Brenda today, said she would call back but didn't so I suspect she had a cxl she could fit me into. Still waiting, haven't gotten info requested on monday which has been requested to make that appointment. gotta go have a call.
430am woke up, tighter and getting a sharp pain in back of shoulder. could be effect of stretching before bedtime?
Praises for my consultant, Dr. Wells [kmw3@cwru.edu] "Thanks again for the J.H. reference. Much to be gained from it. I'm feeling much better, but still have physical pains. Paresthesias, and symptomatic pain in my shoulder, arm, and leg. Main advancements are that there is no neurological damage:) In this "wacky world", as Dr. Adams once said to me, that's a really good sign. The context has changed, the game remains the same -
No entry yesterday, I had some stomach/gi distress and took the day off (unrelated pedestrian symptom, I'm sure). Still the soreness- it never seems to go away, worse in am with tightness after sleep; And in evening, with tiredness. more research offered by agents - http://www.uic.edu/labs/lightninginjury/treatment.html Link Wed.s entry: a bit better am symptioms, progress
Notes from conversation with Vicky H. at Hands On Physical Therapy - Building new facility in cary with pool, but not in services now. Determined that Rex is an option, and that Dunn/Erwin hospital has revamped PT and may have facilities. Other option in N. Raleigh noted. Vicky said she would consult with practicioners for other options and get back to me if anything helpful. Regret canceling appt. at Rex - shouldn't be an issue, and indications by
What are you thinking? Specifically, some comments made to me regarding chiropractic treatment and practicioners - as referenced specifically in a previous post. You can note the singular and specific reference. Perhaps I misunderstood. Please clarify. It has been suggested by an associate that
Woke up this morning with issues, I think I might have been in a bad position, but at least it wasn't a sharp stinging pain. most of day just a dullish pain, except for stretching. Got some fatige reaching around some equipment to hook up coax connectors. a bit sore now 930p - worse in the shoulder socket than earlier. tension spread to neck, but noticed this tightness earlier in day. Earlier seemed more concentrated in muscles, now seems to be
These entries are combined as I was out of town on work, and internet access was not available 9/15 -easy day, mostly driving to worksite (lots of rain). A little bit of pain loading. I stopped to get some personal care items on the way, and picked up a small set of wheels to make the job and unloading easier - also figure I would want a set for shopping at the bulk food store. Before leaving I tried to get some numbers and make a pt app
Woke up pretty tight, and I stretched. I want to thank RF for the conversation and chat message. ore for 9\15 in pm
Entry for yesterday, 9/15/04 : started off pretty well, got worse during the day. Felt like too much pain to move some heavy boxes, so I didn't - like the nurse at Dr. Espisito's office and Nancy Reagan said. No phones at the store, so I'm behind making appointment for pt. need to do that tommorrow.
9\13 the dr visit ok, no noteable 'dislocacion' or observation in xray of damage, pain noted and to be evaluated. doctors office advise to keep in range of motion, go back to pt, ice down after physical effort, stretch and manipulate with some pain, don't work with pain -'just say no'. recommends pool/aquatic exercise - not available at HOPT, so considering visits to REX, discussed different range of motion techniques - similar but differs from what
sunday fu, more housework - stress and fatigue, but no real shooting pains. Mon. woke up with tighness which was aching in am; loosened up with manipulation on ride to orthopedist. more on that in next entry.
9/12pm Just tired and sore, had a pain in shoulder joint driving. took my med and went to sleep.
Sunday, am-more sluggishness from meds. more housework (way behind, not up to it after work) cramped out in mid afternoon and massaged some and took a nap. woke up and stretched some untill pain. it when down some- dishes and started to hurt again. more later.
yesterday, shopping, some discomfort with bag. multiple trip to keep the load light. still dull pain throughout, but only one one stinging pain in shoulder. More housework, fatigue, pacing myself so not too bad.
mm, No additions. sumarizing previous discussions; Consider orthopedic diagnosis, xrays, additional pain management as suggested by management. Friday's notes; not too bad with meds. did some massage while driving. Notes from 9-10 doctors visit. Dr Carnes acknoleges that healing is slow wrt epectations, and refered me to an orthopedic doctor who he recommends for shoulder and other joint injuries. Appointment is set for monday, and xray ar
Has anyone used the new Telly DVR box? you can find info at Link Looks much better than the other offerings.
About the same today, arm got tired and sorer later in day. Had a few sharp pains, just putting it in a bad position, and putting air in my car tires. A little worse as evening wears on. Next post the questions and talking points brought up by HR, etc.
Waking up yawns, that hurt. most of day not too bad, just the same old dull ache. seems like the over arching tightness subsided some and felt more in specific muscle groups. later in day got tighter and more sore. got a sharp pain in shoulder trying to move some stock at the end of the day, which was about as good a timing that could be. Took a nap later, that helped a bit; Been sleeping with my hand in my waistband which keeps me from putting a
started off in the am with tightness and some of the obnoxious joint pain. evened out though. Mostly some muscle ache and the tightness seeming to spread to my neck. towards evening, the muscles got tight again, but could be worse. think the hardcore pain from moving heavy things may be waning, but careful to favor my right to keep it from getting so bad again. It a catch22 to take med to do work to hurt more to be in worse shape and to possible e
pain waking up in the am. Back to my prescribed routine, did not take meds during day yesterday, had pain all day as has have all day today. noon now, and have those needles in the back of my shoulder, and have had pain in back left of knee in leg.
