I think I like the new wall format, more like forum pages and I can even make a header! Another interesting day in my quest to reduce pain. I underwent "prolotherapy" injections. Not covered by insurance (of course), because it hasn't been thoroughly tested on humans (thank goodness for the koala in me). At $180/pop it's cheap if it actually works (just 1 of my pain meds costs that much per month). It involves injecting sucrose (sweet!) subcutaneously via ultrasound guidance into the areas most screwed up with scarring/muscle/tendon deterioration, with the theory that the inflammation will stimulate the body's own immune response to help rebuild the tissue. Right. I don't know how much of this is valid and how much is placebo effect, but at this point I'm willing to try copper bracelets, crystals and magnets. I've been guaranteed this weekend will be miserable and so far that's spot on. Wish me luck!🐨😵
