Re: Does anyone have a love hate relationship with their P.T. or O.T.?

<t>when I first started going after the injury I hated us, I never had coverage so it was at the hospital for free, and all she did was stretch my arm for 10 minutes and I would leave. I thought I was getting shafted for that treatment just because I did not have coverage and I stopped going. <br/> ...

Re: Depression = Maybe caused by Topomax

i tried gabapentin at the start of the injury and didnt find it helped at all. I also take percocet and oxycontin and the pain is just horrible, but i think its a good thing because its in places i had no feeling at all before the surgery. How do you find the zoloft? I never heard of it before.
