I certainly appreciate your taking the time to respond to my question. The two Posts you suggested are informative. I now know that I can put a Word into "Search" and any past posts will come up. All these suggestions will help my Brother-in-Law when he takes my Sister to the new Doctor. Thanks from a grateful, Texan!

Tip - Search in Google adding the words Health Unlocked - it is very effective.

Adding a pennies worth - Massage and physio help.

Wishing you the best

Kevin

Kevin, Your Pennies Worth is valued much higher. Tried the Google + HealthUnlocked and found good suggestions. We are better armed with questions when we visit the new Ortho Doctor. Thanks.....

Hi, my wife(CBD) is due her second series of Botox injections after the initial jabs three moths ago which has seen a marked improvement in her rigid left arm. She locks her left leg as well which makes it difficult to lift her up, I will inform her consultant in ten days, but I can’t see him giving Botox injections all over every stiff and locked limb. Our OT wants me to hoist her at all times and a gantry with hoist system is to be fitted above her bed in next couple of weeks. Best wishes

We accept your Good Wishes. Now that I know how to find past Posts and now with your Reply...I see Botox is being successfully administered in many cases...will question the OT when we visit him. Our best to you in caring for your loved one.

My friend having the issues. His family and I are wondering about having a massage therapist come in and work on his neck.

Hi! Take a look at Kevin's post about 4 up...In his experience massage is helpful (along with physiotherapy)...
