Has anyone heard of or tried Traumeel & Toxicodendrum

<t>I was wondering if anyone has heard of or tried Traumeel or Toxicodendrum. I met a woman who takes both for her Sciatica and says it works great for her. They are both homeopathic, over-the-counter supplements. I've never tried them or heard of them before speaking to this woman, but who knows, m...

Re: Injured Skier Skis Again

<t>That's great. I've been going skiing every year for the past 4 years and absolutely love it, so it's great to hear you're back out there, especially considering that's how your injury occured, that's the definition of bravery, persistence, and most importantly, perseverence. I am surprised by how...

Re: travel after surgery at mayo 2/26/09

<t>I can give you some info on my returns home after surgeries. <br/> The first major surgery I had up there left me in a LOT of pain, mainly from the Sural nerve transfer, and the gracilis muscle transfer. My lung was also punctured in that surgery so breathing was significantly tougher than normal...

Re: Relief maybe....

<t>I'm glad to see you're skiing again. I've been going skiing every year for the past 4 years and love it. I especially love when people point and stare at me when I fly past them on a double-black. Is it tougher for me to ski with one-arm, of course, I can't post and turn left as easily, but I lov...

Re: Pain Medication

<t>Well, I haven't posted anything in a few years. <br/> For me, pain was the only thing on my mind for the first 4 years or so after my injury, in that time I've tried almost everything. The medicine that worked best for me was Oxycodone 15mg, but that left me in sort of a zombie-like state, but I ...

Re: Mayo Hotels

<t>I stayed at the Staybridge Suites when I had my surgeries at Mayo. The rooms are excellent and it is literally across the street, maybe 40 yards to the front doors of St. Mary's. You can get a room with a kitchenette(big fridge, stove, dishwasher, etc.). Right next door is the Canadian Honker. It...
