Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008OTP Cast off today!
I have a brace (very short, closes with velcro) to wear for about two weeks, and I do need it, That wrist is very weak and a little sore though it wasn't my wrist that was broken. Kate, I have a scrip for PT so I'm going to see what I can get done about falling. My orthopedist said he didn't want to see me again until next year! Gwen Wonderful progress, Gwen! And I hope that PT works for you as well as it has for Kate. You both need to take a break from all this falling.

Check with the pt too to see what they can help with. I agree - at least a year before anymore falls - preferably not at all! kelly >I have a brace (very short, closes with velcro) to wear for about two >weeks, and I do need it, That wrist is very weak and a little sore though [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Gwen Kelly, I saw my pulmonologist today -- had to cancel the appt in January! He is sending me to a neurologist -- said he wants to know the reason I keep having balance problems and falling. I told him I have a scrip for PT but he said not to do that yet, to see the neurologist first. He is making the appt with one who is a good friend of my regular doc, who is an internist.

I know mine is related to the neurological damage 2 years ago. has never been the same and is worse standing on my bad leg or when I am overdo for my meds for that. Also if I get tired (which is usually at night when I most don't want to fall! Especially in the middle of the night). I know my balance is off. In the shower if I close my eyes (you know like when you are shampooiing your hair. So hopefully they can explain to me why the neuro stuff affected this and how to fix it if it can be.

He seemed more concerned about the falls. Gwen > Good plan.
