Regular Pulled Muscles

Hi everyone lm wondering if anyone out there struggles with pulled muscles. I'm coming to terms with the ongoing limitations of ET and age, but right now struggling with an ongoing groin injury and waiting for a another upcoming steroid injection this time based on ultrasound results. Meanwhile imfeeling challenged with what feels like intercostal pain,seeing a private physio this week while my hospital (2 year wait) comes through. Is there anymore l could be doing regarding pain management right now.

If you are having upper abdominal pain, that does need prompt follow up. It could be a number of things ranging from something muscular - to nerve pain - to splenomegaly. There is also the possibility of medication adverse effects. Add to that the fact that as we age we simply do not heal from injuries as well and tend to get deconditioned, predisposing us to further injuries like strained muscles. Perhaps this is what is going on with the groin injury.

It can be tricky figuring out what is the MPN, what is the treatment for the MPN, and what is something completely unrelated. Additional information for consideration is the potential for medication side effects. Not to say this is what is going on, but just for reference here are the relevant HU and Warfarin lists.

HU adverse effects

abdominal pain

arthralgia

back pain

extremity pain

Hope you get this all sorted and find relief soon.

Hi Hunter thanks for responding to what feels like a daily moan, lm so fed up with myself right now. Groin injury linked to Tichi class and morphed into dodgy hip all happend early days of pandemic and coincided with a house move. Just waiting for further investigation,latest injury comes on the back of an allergic reaction to candastarten which has left me with severe pain throughout body and an intercostal muscle pull 🙃 Of course your spot on ET and age is taking its toll right now and has left me with all manner of physical and psychological challenges. I'm so grateful for my upcoming appointment with Clare Harrison at Guys Hospital London and feel sure l will get the answers lm looking for. Meanwhile take care Hunter and many blessings. Adiewon

I regularly see a private physio for my aches and pains I don’t think it’s any worse that before diagnosed with ET

Good morning Wyebird ,It seem to be the case that a regular physio is the way forward particular if one is prone to mucle strain,note to self to make this part of my ongoing self care.

Thank for your reply.

Hi Adiewon2I rate really highly the stretching exercises in the eccentrics programme which was devised by an ex ballerina for mobility and flexibility. It is designed for ‘mature’ people (and everyone else) to keep us moving. You might find them worth your consideration. Here is a link to a you tube clip that is focussed on hips and butt muscles.

Well that didn’t work, did it? Take two with a screenshot and hopefully you can search for it.
