I went back in september because of reaccuring wrist problems I have had since I have been a teenager.
I get their and as I am talking to the physical therapist I am specific about how this could be the recurring issue with my teres minor becoming weakened along with my latisimus muscles, or even over working of that area which can cause pain, swelling and discomfort. She threw everything I said out the window...I even said this was a diagnosis from a physcial therapist from Kaiser, who helped me more in 4 weeks then anyone previously has...the physical therapist at P.O.S.T still threw everything I said out the window and INSISTED this is a localized problem.
As we start treatment I get told I will probably need surgery etc...blah blah...
This made me feel no different then when I was 17, had to make a workmen comp claim when I was a cashier. I went to one "doctor" if you would call him that, he threw my arm in a sling, wrote up a prescription for some pain killer, told me to set up operating date for "carpel tunnel" ...quack...
I got a second opinion from the therapist at Kaiser, she actully looked outside the box and found the real issue which was weakenend lats and teres muscles from over streching while cashiering. That is good detective work.
I cant say I felt any personal connection, or thought in what I had to say at P.O.S.T. I was just told "no this is how it is."
I will try a second opinion and "see how it is."
Thanks for the efforts, treat me like I am 32 year old who might have somehing more then carpal tunnel and not a 64 year old who worked at IBM before the world of ergonomics came into the world.
