Rare Sea Dog Posted September 26, 2023 #104027 Share Posted September 26, 2023 35 minutes ago, A&L_Ont said: So my TMJ is definitely acting up. I was told by the RD today that my jaw mobility is very limited. It is moving less than half of its normal amount, when shifting it left to right horizontally. More importantly, the amount it should open fully is very limited. I should be able to open it 6cm, I can only open it 1.2cm. To put it into terms my American friends will relate to; 2.36” is the normal opening amount and I’m only getting .47” of opening. I now have a repositioning oral splint that I have to wear for the next week, hoping to get my jaw lined up better. I have to wear it all day, all night except for eating. I’m just hoping this will help. I’m so sorry Andrew you are going through this. 24 minutes ago, Keksie said: Oh no. I hope it passes quickly. Me too. This is not fun.

Hope you have a wonderful trip. My thoughts to you would be if you want to see Venice maybe go sooner than later. It is a challenging city for folks with mobility issues. Crossing canals typically involves stairs that lead up to, and then down from, the bridges that cross them. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much because it’s tricky to eat neatly but because bits of the sauce always ends up on my top… +1, same here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did lots of walking on our European cruise 7 years ago since I hit 75 next year I definitely want to do it again before 80 . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took it outside where I was giving Caden and Kenzie rides. It can go up to 6.1 mph. I forsee the grandkids decorating it in the future. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With sitting or lying down you lose the effect of gravity, as well as the jiggling that walking causes, helping to pull the stone down. Thanks OB I will do that. I have been sitting with a heating pad on my groin which gives me a little relief. 12 minutes ago, Ourusualbeach said: That sucks. Had a bout with them a couple years ago, definitely a pain like no other. The only pain med that worked for me was morphine via an IV. Hope they pass quickly. Me too. This sucks. 11 minutes ago, akcruz said: @Sea Dog and @A&L_Ont hoping you are both feeling better soon. Thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually asked my Wife is this a different country or is this Canada? Then while walking around we went inside a Dollarama we saw they were selling red and white Canada flags,then we knew where we were at. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have me confused with someone else. At least I don’t think I have any mobility issues. I don’t think I would have any trouble navigating anything there. By the way, I just had my 8 year anniversary of wearing a Fitbit activity tracker. I was surprised at the numbers I put up in that period of time. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had not bothered me until today. You would think as much pineapple juice I have been drinking in my tiki cocktails that I wouldn’t have a problem.😉 Oh no, sorry to hear you are suffering with a stone. I hope it passes soon without too much pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#55worktoplay Posted September 27, 2023 #104043 Share Posted September 27, 2023 @A&L_Ont Andrew, I’m sorry you are going through this. I hope the appliance helps. @Sea Dog Yikes, I feel for you, I’ve never had them but my husband has and he had to be admitted for days with a drip of morphine. Finally after 3 or 4 days it passed. This was a long time ago but I remember it clearly. I hope you soon pass it or get it zapped if that’s possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easy here. Sharon could just go down to the dispensary and pick some up with cash. I believe Greg mentioned something before about having a med card. It doesn't help much with the pain, but I think it might make it not so much front and center and might help you get some sleep. It is apparently much more potent now with new strains. I just inspected, haven't tried it for 40 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
