Reunited with Friend

We had gathered last night and spend some time talking with a friend.   Talking with friend updating the things that happen to our life is a really nice bonding moment of friendship.  It was nice hearing friend experience in ship because he is a seaman.  Being seaman is not easy they have to spend months to be far from family to earn money for their family.  I also tell a story about what happen to my wife where hip pain cause some injury to Sharon that resulted in her legs malfunction. It also affected the way she walks and this health problem cause her to be bedridden for two weeks, and still need some supplements to totally cure the injury.  What is really nice is being reunited with a friend that is what matter most. As the saying tells that "no man is an island".

Injury

It has been almost three months already since my wife has been injured because of her hip pain.  Nerve pain is really not a joke, it could affect your normal life so much.  It has been a hard time on our side, we are having some difficulties adjusting of what this injury has given to us as a family.  Life is really full of challenges, thankfully we have God to lean on.  It is good that we have family too, that support us through prayers.  This test will surely make us a better person and hopeful we able to surpass this challenge soon.  For others who experience injury don't lose hope as long as we live, we always have hope and a way to solve our problem.

Hip Pain Update

It was almost a month of weekly therapy, Sharon has done and the doctor suggest to continue it for the sake of her leg.  The doctor also suggest of getting lumbosacral support for her back.  Dr. Peter also suggested her to get support for her ankle for fast treatment of her right leg.  Lesson learn posture is very important to prevent this kind of health problem.  Poor posture is the reason of this nerve problem and hip pain the resulted in leg and spinal injury.   Educating everyone in your family about proper posture is very important, especially sitting in front of the computer or carrying heavy boxes of things can result to back injury.

X-ray Result

After two weeks of physical therapy my wife Sharon finally gets an x-ray.  The doctor asks her to had an LS AP/L (R/L OBL).  It is our first time experience about this kind of x-ray.   The result of test is "there is mild rightward deviation of the lumbar spine.  Mild posterior displacement of L5 over S1 is noted.  The vertebral body is normal in density, texture and modelling.  There are no signs of compression fracture, bone erosion, nor bone destruction.  The intervertebral disc spaces are well maintained.  The pedicles are intact.  The rest of the bones are normal and intact. "  According to her doctor the spinal in the lower back part has moved.  Sharon was advised to buy back support and get 5 day therapy more.  Hip pain is expected because of her spinal problem.  Hopefully the therapy and exercise will strengthen her back.

Physical Therapy

It's been three seasons already when my wife Sharon had her therapy.   She had her third session in the hospital for therapy of her hips and legs.  The routine is to apply EMP 4 to wake up the nerve of her legs.  Then some leg exercises for the ankle and legs teach and familiarize the brain and body.   Then some walking routine and exercise for the feet and legs.   It is not easy to recover from injury, especially when a nerve is involved.   There are many patient getting involved in therapy to heal their nerved problem from back pain, hip pain and shoulder pain.
