Thanks, I'm gonna try it!

So, do you wrap after applying the DMSO or just put it on? My 4 YO got windpuffs after being turned out 24/7 in my hilly pasture this summer, ran up and down like a fool. I would be interested to...

Also check out Swept Away Farm in Newport, NH. They have an absolutely gorgeous facility and their trainer does eventing and showjumping. There have been several Dartmouth students who've boarded...

I'm very excited, just got back on my 4 YO today! 12 weeks to the day after surgery on my shoulder. OK, it wasn't much but walk and a little trot but I was mostly pleased that I had no residual...

Hey Calvin, my PT is VERY aggressive in my opinion and I don't think I'm wimpy. She told me that if she hurts me DURING therapy that is to be expected, if it hurts AFTER we're doing too much. You...

Hey Calvin, just wanted to check in. Think to yourself that at least NOW you're on the right track to heal properly and get back to riding. My rehab has gone so well I feel really lucky, especially...

Just had to weigh in on the "awesomeness" of the nerve block! They said to me after shoulder surgery in May that if they can get you through the first 48 hours relatively pain free you'll heal much...

Congrats Pharmgirl!!

I appreciate what you're saying, we now have two of us on the DL. Hubby came off his 4x4 Friday night, two cracked ribs and a tweaked knee. Now we're fighting over who gets to use the pad first at...

Pharmgirl is a GODDESS!!! The suggestion of the moist heating pad was nothing short of genious. It came yesterday, I used it last night and this AM before therapy. Not only does it make you feel...

Absolutely, we went every year and hoped the "local guy" buddy Brown would win!

Yes, he has specified the degree to which I'm supposed to increase, however his specs were for until I see him next which is not until the end of August. Herin lies the issue, because PT says that if...

Calvin, I'm SO sorry to hear your surgery got pushed back! You must be feeling very defeated right now, I can't even imagine. I do know what you mean about riding. I think the only thing keeping me...

Wierdly enough I haven't even thought about the riding aspect yet. I know that my older guy is in a good place and being used and loved and the "culprit" is back on track, getting worked with twice...

I ordered the moist heat pad today. I agree that it's a marathon as mentioned, definately NOT my strong suit! I had to laugh though when someone mentioned being able to hook their bra without pain as...

Well, I'm having the classic vet vs. farrier issue between my surgeon and my PT. My regular therapist was away when I went on Monday and let's just say her replacement was ALOT less aggressive. So,...

My guess would be 2'6".

Hopefully you will get the desired result and move on. Sounds like your horse situation is exactly the same as mine, one is away from home with a job and the "culprit" as I like to call him now is...

Hey Calvin, I was just about to post my update 5 weeks out from surgery and I saw your post. I'm so sorry to hear of your additional setback! I feel like a loser saying I'm psyked because the surgeon...

I hope it works for you. My PT was talking about this today, that even though it hurts now it's better than having to break down adhesions later that REALLY hurt.

PT stinks but it's going well! My ROM is exactly where the surgeon wanted it to be at this point. I have my first post surgical with him next Tuesday, that will be 5 weeks out amazingly. The best...

I STRONGLY suggest trailer coverage! Last month a tree branch dropped onto my trailer during a windstorm. Luckily I left the policy on my trailer even after I'd paid it off, appraiser for the...

I totally agree. I have a horse that does great in a particular idoor until the local equitation finals are held there. They have a scoreboard that just freaks him out. It just isn't worth it to try...

PT went better than I expected. She was quite pleased with my ROM at this point. She did make a VERY big point that I must not be my own worst enemy by overdoing, but did give me some isometrics to...

Nice, thanks!!!
