I have a grandfather in a nursing home and he was told he couldn’t get long term insurance because of a mistake that was made by the doctor saying he went in because of a heart attack. That was not true. He fell and broke his hip and was only going in for rehab. Now the Physical Therapists are telling my grandmother that he will have to stay there indefinitely and he will not be able to come back home. Well one of my grandmothers options is to divorce him because she cannot pay what they want each month. She is trying to get info from a lawyer and see what all her assets are. She doesn’t want to lose everything and i’m doing the best I can since i just got layed off from my job that went over seas. I want to know if their is something that we can do to get help financially.

I am 23 years old and my job entails being on my feet and moving 12 hours a day, 3 days a week. I spent 17 years of my life as a gymnast and 4 years as a ballet dancer.
I have flat feet, but do not wear shoe inserts as I have done extensive physical therapy and my doctors have told me I have trained my muscles to walk normally without orthotics.
Within the past couple weeks, I have started to notice pain in my left inner ankle. The pain centers around the medial malleous, but the pain feels more muscular. The more I walk, the more the pain spreads partially up my tibia staying medial.
The pain is greater when I let myself walk flat footed (and thus my foot everts). When it is not weight bearing, the pain is greater when I invert my foot (thus engaging that muscle).
The pain isn’t great – I take 400mg ibuprofin and go to work but the pain has been there for a few weeks and hasn’t gone away. I have been taking the ibuprofin and icing and elevating after work, but I can’t not walk around at my job.
Any suggestions on what could be going on? I have had no injuries to the area.
Thanks!
Interviewing a PHYSICAL THERAPIST or PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT.
I just got diagnosed with having spinal canal stenosis, L5-S1 Facet arthropathy, a bulging disc, a pinched nerve and a retroverted uterous. What the H!!! I am only 24 yrs old, the doc’s said this could have happened because I was a gymnast growing up. Can being fit really damage my body like this? what are the treatments for all the pain I am having? The medicines perscribed are not helping and the physical therapy feels like it’s making it worse! I can’t hardly keep up with my two small children.
Is Athletic Training A Good Undergraduate Degree For Someone Who Wants To Be A Physical Therapist?
Feb 11
Honestly, I am iffy about the Physical Therapy because of the added school time I will need. BUT with Athletic Training I’ll be doing so many cool things like I’d be doing as a PT, but with only 4 years of school. Either way. If I wanted to do the DPT, I could just apply to graduate school.

I get low back pain when I drive. I’ve had a medical workup. Physical therapy, cushions while driving, frequent brakes, and proper body position all help. I still get some back pain, however. I’m taking a job that requires driving 45 minutes to work. Sadly, public transportation is not an option. What is the best car to drive? I’m 6 feet tall. The best car I’ve driven (for my back) was an old Chevy station wagon with bench seats. The worst was an old Honda Civic. We currently own a Honda CRV – still gives me back pain. Ideas?
