Avatar m tn just had jones fracture surgery and I am nervous that I hurt the surgically repaired foot. I was on my knee scooter with my bad leg and without realizing I moved my kitchen table over a few inches with the opposite hand. i'm hoping I didn't put too much stress on that foot....had so may pain killers in the foot, I totally forgot about it for a moment. the bad foot/leg was on the scooter not the ground.
Avatar f tn 2 weeks ago I was hit by a car and had my leg broken, the knee socket crushed and my shoulder broken. They performed surgery on the knee about 12 days ago and are about to do surgery on the shoulder. Both are on the left side. Is there any set up I can use that will allow me to walk in any way? As I understand it I will not be able to use a crutch on my left side. Thanks!
645800 tn?1466860955 I TRY not to ruminate into what I once was and look at me now scenerio -- but its hard not to. I used to be a RN. Not no more. I used to be a gymnast, avid skiier, mountain biking -- all around athletic person. I was a people person. Always out and socializing. Now I'm more home bound and it appears that my only thing I do is go to doctor's appointments, pet store for cat/bird food and get gas for my car in order to get there. I tell myself wait until Spring...
Avatar f tn The crazy thing about this indoor use only is most people cannot maneuver an electric scooter indoors - they are too bulky and are designed primarily for gaining mobility outside of the home. I hope you geet this resolved soon.
Avatar f tn I just returned from a doctor's visit to finalize the paperwork and do the face to face exam/interview that Medicare requires so that I can hopefully get a power chair or mobility scooter. I've been talking with The Scooter Store and they have been exceptionally helpful in this process.

3159640 tn?1430907300 Hello all, I am struggling with ERP as a form of treatment for my rabies OCD. I wonder will something else work? Hypnosis, any other kind of alternative therapy? In one of our temporary sheds out back there is rabbit (or something) foot with a bone sticking out of it that some animal must have dragged in and snacked on. It has been there at least a week and probably much longer.
1218873 tn?1300091216 I know I could hire a mobility scooter at the parks which would make life, oh so much easier. But first I have to get over the pride thing, and secondly quite a bit of guilt, you see in the past I have looked at the sea of Scooters running over my feet and thought that many people really did not need them as they looked perfectly health, now I would be in that catagory. hmmmmmmmmmmm. Perhaps this is my pay back!

Avatar n tn Not sure what all his meds are, but not on clonazepam or any antidepressants. Also has really bad leg cramps at night, which may or may not be related. any thoughts?
Avatar f tn This happens moreso in the evening or night. Dr said to elevate leg. When leg is elevated colour returns to normal.. I am not weight bearing at all. I can take boot off for a rest .
649848 tn?1534633700 Good morning... how's everyone this morning? It looks like it's going to be another "standard" day here - hot with a chance of rain. It doesn't seem like the forecast changes much on a day to day basis, but we can tell that fall is approaching and the nights are getting a bit cooler, leaves are turning and beginning to fall off the trees, etc. There's not a lot going on in my world as I'm still struggling with the broken foot.
Avatar f tn I have MS. I won't take any drugs for it. I only take LDN and suppliments. I have alot of trouble walking. My left leg doesn't really work. I also have drop foot on the left. I use a cane but can't really get around too well. What have you tried to improve walking?
5462866 tn?1390829440 My vet told me my 15 year old Maltese, Scooter is is renal failure. He also has a heart murmur. He is only eating boiled burger and chicken, and sometimes not that. I can no longer slip crushed Tums into his food. He is vomiting more of his food lately and continues to lose weight. At times his hind legs do not hold him up. I fear he is in more pain. What can I do to make him comfortable. Scooter is my 1st and only pet. He is my baby. My heart is breaking. I don't want him to hurt.
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, I hope things are as good as can be for all. I have been gone forever and have lots of catching up to do, but I wanted to share a little fun I had last night... I borrowed my Mother in Law's scooter so I could take my son trick or treating. After about the 10th comment of "jealousy" that I was on a scooter, one girl said "Hey can I have your scooter?" To which I replied "Absolutly, can I have your legs?" I couldn't help myself.
