I'm Sorry and I Should be Flogged for Not Doing This

Hi Supporters,

The community is about to get a whole lot cleaner. All video content will now be presented a lot better.

All videos are being uploaded DIRECTLY to this community now. No external links. No clogging up the News Feed (when viewing from laptop).

What this means:

On laptop/desktop: All videos including webinars and recorded Q&A and round table sessions can be found under 'Content' in the menu on the left hand side.

On your phone using the app, all videos will be right in the news feed and can be played right in the app. It looks a heck of a lot better.

The News Feed will be cleaned up and primarily for Supporters to post case studies, questions, and comments as y'all have been doing already. It will just look better.

Thank you! I'm still learning and always looking to improve things.

Chronic Low Back Pain and Neuropathy

Hello community! I need some help with a case. It's for an 87 year old woman who has chronic back pain and neuropathy. She fell backwards a number of years ago and since then she's been in chronic pain. She had an ablation over the summer and the nerve pain is returning. She also feels like she has weakness in her legs, has difficulty getting up without her legs buckling. Both hips have been replaced and her glute muscles are all weak. she cannot lie on her back without being in more pain after getting up. Whenever I have attempted low back treatments on her side, including a stenosis treatment, it always makes the pain worse. I often treat her in a recliner chair sitting up, but would like to make more progress with her. Any advice?

Where do you start with this?

61 year old male with various changing musculoskeletal complaints: R neck and shoulder pain, sometimes cervical tightness causes numbness and tingling in arms. Bilateral hip pain/tightness which is intermittent, compared to the shoulder pain is more constant, but none of these are severe. Scoliosis in low back, often the L low back and flank hurt more than right.

R leg longer by 1/4”. L2-L5 or S1 very curved. R pelvis juts out compared to L. R shoulder significantly lower than L.

Currently his most acute symptom is tenderness in his L inguinal crease. There was a period of bleeding in urine and semen for 2 weeks that has stopped; he went to the doctor and they ruled out UTI, STD, and hernia. On palpation the edge of the pelvic bowl is a bit tender and the most tender spot subjectively is right over the femoral pulse.

EXSTORE:
Lower extremity: Bilateral psoas, TFL, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus.
Upper extremity: Supraspinatus, serratus

It just feels like a lot and I'm ...
