My daughter wants to play sports, but she is so prone to her joints popping out of place. We’ve spent months in physical therapy only to have her shoulder etc. pop out again by the tiniest injury. She is double jointed to say the least. Her skin is not stretchy though. Her doctor doesn’t have an answer. I don’t like her taking Advil each and every day for all the pain she is in.

Hi,
I have a friend who is about to complete her english degree and wants to stay in the US. She has already completed her physical therapy degree from the country that she is from but does not know what options she has to continue staying her. She’s definitely a good person and I would like to help her. Her english is good and I’m sure she’ll be a great addition to any community she joins.
Any suggestions anyone?
Also, please do not recommend marrying her as an option for her to stay…
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.
My Doctor Wants Me To Go To 6 Weeks Of Physical Therapy, But Doesn’t Know What The Problem Is?
Feb 9
I have had pain in my shoulder, arm, and wrist since I was hit from behind while driving. This was almost two years ago. My doctor took xrays 6 months ago to rule out broken bones??! He said I should go to 6 weeks of PT, but he doesn’t know what is wrong?
I work in a PT rehab center and I am fairly certain that this is not an appropriate decision. I believe it is a nerve problem. I know I’m not a doctor but he really didn’t do much to persuade me that he was concerned. I don’t know how I can convince him to continue trying to figure out the problem is. I would like for him to do an MRI.
Add to it, I can’t afford to pay the copays for a 6 week pt rehab.
Should I switch doctors?
I am going to physical therapy, and I hope one day I can do exercise on a more regualr and consistent basis. I have chronic pain, and this last car accident only made the already chronic pain worse and more frequent. I am having a hard time getting back into exercise and had to switch therapists.
It’s not like I don’t try on my good days, but those rare days, I am usually trying to catch up with the household chores that I got behind in.
Sometimes I feel like I am not really living with this kind of pain, and that my husband does not understand. I saw a woman on t.v. and thought she was pretty and wanted to have pretty jeans and a form fitting shirt like her. He said her hips were too big, but I thought she looked nice. Then it got to be my hips are too big too. And there are other times he talks about me too. I know I could lose some weight, but how can I without starving myself, or is that what I should do? And how do I shrink my hip bones down so that I will be good enough?
