Cindy, when you so graciously helped me replace missing pages in
Death Of A Glutton, you mentioned your shoulder. :) I remembered
that because I have shoulder trouble too from a car accident I was
in. I have several torn ligaments in my neck and back and have
developed spinal arthritis around the site of the injury. I could
relate to doing scanning in short bursts, and I remembered thinking
that it was especially nice of you to help with the pages I
needed. I've been on this list since last January, though sometimes
it seems like it must be longer than that because I've learned so
much from so many people here. I bought a cloth bag with a
water-proof interior for holding ice and water. It's an ice pack,
but it's not a traditional one. You unscrew the lid, fill it with
ice cubes and some cold water, put the lid back on, and you have a
flexible and comfortable ice pack that will conform to your shoulder
area. It's especially nice since I don't have to worry about keeping
it chilled. I can just use it when I need it. My daughter swipes it
sometimes to use on her knees after basketball practice. When I use
my ice pack, I can scan better because the cold keeps that area from
becoming inflamed. In case this would help you too, I got it from a
company called Dr. Leonard's. I think their address is
www.drleonard.com . Or it maybe me drleonards.com It cost me
something like $5.95, and it's been worth several times that much. I
alternate it with using a heating pad throughout the day if I'm
having a painful day in general.

I've ordered the book from my library.
How do you know about my shoulder problems? I didn't realize you'd been here so long.smile
I'll just put Capzaisin HP or something on my shoulders and take tylenol, and stop for a while, and then continue. My arthritic pains are nothing compared to blindness and deafness and other physical pains and debilitating conditions so many of you have.
