Yesterday I had to move the baby grand piano. Its on carpet. Just needed to rotate it to get a ladder up against the wall.
So lift and heave. And my left wrist, which is the one that I have arthritis problems with, makes a bad sound. Like a 'pop' when there should be no noise.
Yeah, ouch.
Tried the "Tens" unit for some electro therapy, also used some prescription Valtoran ointment, and downed some pills. And then repeated all that later. And then again at bedtime. And again this morning. And wearing a wrist brace too.
No hard work for me today, so I went to the cigar lounge to take it easy. Talked with one of my buddies there and he was telling me about Ultrasound therapy. As a railroad worker he is always in pain. Bought an Ultrasound unit and says it works great.
Did some research on Al Gore's inter-webs and found out they seem to work pretty well, used by physical therapists, etc. Couldn't find any real problems, and there seems to be some research done with rheumatoid arthritis patients that is positive.
Looked around and found them at all sorts of price points. Decided to try a $99 unit that was on eBay. BTW, prices on eBay are far lower than on Amazon. Should arrive in 7 to 10 days.
So have any of you had Ultrasound Therapy?
