<t>My 11 year old with LOBPI did this when she was younger. We used clove oil massged into the nails morning and night. Tastes terrible but also has an anesthetic quality to aid healing. Fortunately, at this stage she has regained enough feeling in her hand to not pull the nails out by the roots wit...

<t> As usual it depends on the child and how severe the injury. My daughter is 8 with severe LOBPI and in the last year has been having overuse problems with the right shoulder dislocating and mild scoliosis due to compensation issues.

<t>My 7 year old daughter wears her link bracelet on her right arm because she wears a splint on her left wrist.We tried the sports one first but she was 5 and it was lost in 3 weeks. At first she played with it in class and the teacher took it from her so I had to explain its importance and have it...

We just placed an order for electrodes through mayatek and had no problem. Go to www.mayatek.com/pediatric and download the order form. I got 1x6's and 1x4's and 1x1's with no problem at all. Received them 2 1/2 weeks ago.
