Now granted, she has *not* gone to PT (don't ask - Mom is just stubborn about these things), but I'll be sure to mention the acupuncture thing to her. There are some very good TM and acupuncture clinics just a stone's throw from her house. </p> <p>Very exciting! I love stories like this. Something that isn't expected to work, ends up working amazingly well. </p> <p>Meanwhile, I just love seeing the photo of your arm raised up to the ceiling like that. After all this time, healing, doing the right things (PT) and you up and try something a little bit off the beaten track and it works? Kudos to you for trying something new-ish and keeping an open mind about these things. So glad it worked out so nicely for you. </p> <p>Here's to that arm being able to do things that nobody expected. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-646187 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 22:59:57 +0000 Mochi 646187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again, crutch. I would hate for you to go to someone and not have it be effective...I have no idea if they are all equally good in this particular area, maybe they are or not, so I would ideally try and get some referrals from people who've had injuries. Makes it more challenging, but you want results. PT has been helpful--necessary, really--but the effect has been gradual. This was much more dramatic, so I hope you have your best shot at having a similar result. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-646144 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:50:51 +0000 san 646144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! Good for you Mochi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-646142 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 21:47:41 +0000 crutcher 646142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks...I am in the midwest and Boston would be a commute but after your wonderful success story, I am looking for an acupuncturist in my area...<br /> Hope you have continued improvement...I do understand how involved the elbow and shoulder are...royal pain...<br /> Crutch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-645663 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 11:10:22 +0000 Mochi 645663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>crutcher, please feel free to private message me (obviously with the disclaimer that I'm only going to give you my personal experience, not a doctor, etc yada). If you were in the Boston area I would hook you up immediately with this acupuncturist. I do believe that it had a major effect, in my case. I did also work very hard at PT and am still doing it, and it of course helps too. I'm very sorry about your elbow...happened just a bit before my accident in December. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-645653 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:31:20 +0000 crutcher 645653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was intrigued with your shoulder progress...I had a broken, smashed elbow in November which led to a frozen shoulder..The PT has just gotton the shoulder unfrozen and is working on strength and straightening the elbow...The acupuncturist is an interesting piece of the success for you...Do you think your success now is due to going to the acupunturist?...<br /> I have also been told I would have limited straightening of my arm...<br /> THX for sharing.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-645637 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 09:44:15 +0000 Jjsloane 645637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic news!

Backs are pretty complicated, and it's surely a question of trial and error to find the right treatment(s), but I absolutely think we shouldn't give up or blindly accept the doctor's verdict. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-645469 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:37:17 +0000 Suz 645469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous news, Nancy!

Power to you, Nancy. This is brilliant news. We miss you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-shoulder-coming-along-great#post-645316 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 22:27:18 +0000 Mochi 645316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt like this was very powerful. </p> <p>Physical therapy has already brought me a lot of improvement, gradually, over the past five months (for a fractured humerus/shoulder). About two weeks ago, I started doing acupuncture with someone who came highly recommended for his success in treating sports injuries. In two sessions, it loosened my shoulder joint dramatically. </p> <p>The first pic shows what my physical therapist as well as orthopedic doc had told me how high I'd expect to be able to raise my injured arm laterally by the end of treatment--to about nine or ten o' clock. </p> <p>Yesterday I showed my PT how I can raise the arm completely vertically. Its range is no different than the right arm. His jaw practically dropped to the floor. He gave me a big hug. I felt very emotional. </p> <p>I am not saying that doctors are wrong or should never be listened to. I did ask the PT how they reach these conclusions beforehand (he didn't really have an answer). </p> <p>I plan on getting back to, if not 100%, then at least 99%. </p>
