Men Update on Back

[skschlag]

So, D has been on the lidocaine patch for about 3 weeks. He is finally starting to feel relief! He can stand up without pain, without the patch on. He can twist without pain. He can land without pain. Punching still hurts, but the muscles in his back have finally released and are not so tight. He is stretching and doign all his exercises. He still thinks he can get level 9 routines ready by state.....but we are encouraging him to just do a few events that are the least painful for this season. He goes back to the osteopath on Thursday so hoping for some good news.

That is very good news. Hope you can get him to take things slow so he fully heals.

Are those some regular patches that you can buy over the counter, or were they by prescription?

 

[skschlag]

They were prescription.

How long is he supposed to wear the patches for? So glad to hear he's doing better! It's been a long road for you guys.

She never really gave an ending date. We have a month's worth, but I can cut them in half so it is really 2 months. He goes back on Thursday so I am sure we will get more guidance then.

He had an appointment today. Now on Muscle relaxers...just at night, and only as needed. he took one tonight as he was quite sore from the adjustment. Next week, he starts his Rossiter therapy. I so hope this works

I always cut mine in half too ... and depending on pain location, even in thirds

Wow. Really hoping for a good outcome here. It sounds like he is being positive so that is good.
