also while this horrible chaos is going on they are also introducing a bill to ban mrna vaccines too. now taking public comment but keeping quiet about it ,it www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/m...

oh yeah and if u ever rent a car for traveling do it through costco app! even cheaper than AAA!

love their pasta sauce, we get their chicken bites that are kirkland brand that are like chick fila but u can air fry them and there for better, love their kids clothes and coats and winter gear ( $15 snow pants!)

so as you said sometimes it may send signals when it doesn’t need too. learning how to retrain the nerves/ nervous system to react a bit less is often one of the things PTs try to help ppl w that deal w chronic pain. u sound like u have have some idea of what u are looking for.

our nerves are very good at protecting our bodies. sometimes if they have had a lot of pain signals for long periods it starts to interpret other signals like pressure, movement, temp, etc as pain or it takes less to trigger it. it’s really common and the n sys is amazing but can be overractive…

they are looking at if you have had pain for so long your nervous sys has started to process things a bit differently making the pain spread or or more intense and when we have pain for a long time the areas of our brain that process where our pain/ foot should be start to get a bit blurry

I would ask your PT to explain why they did it. but it depends on whether they found it was an issue for you or not

They were assessing some
thing called laterality. it is a way to look to see how much of your pain involves your nerve pathways essentially or one of the ways. Chronic pain is more complex than acute pain in our nervous sys. bc of that, there’s lots more to consider than msc and joints.

Michael J. Fox receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his advocacy in Parkinson’s research.

Medal of Freedom awarded to Jane Goodall and Bill Nye, two powerful and passionate activists for scientific literacy, conservation, and climate policy.

Well deserved honor by a president who trusts and promotes science, virtues that will soon disappear from the White House.

Assessment of Multisensory Sensitivity May Assist With the Management of Children With Chronic Pain Chronic pain is a significant problem in adults; however, it can also be challenging to evaluate and manage effectively in pediatric and adolescent populations. Many theories implicate different facto...

Multisensory sensitivity differentiates between multiple chronic pain conditions and pain-free individuals Multisensory sensitivity (MSS) to nonpainful stimuli has been identified as a risk factor for the presence of coexisting chronic pain conditions. However, it remains unclear whether MSS can differenti...

Since I seem to have picked up a lot of PT/Physio followers I feel the urge to post about areas of my recent interest/ study ( not just MN and dogs). Here’s an super interesting paper from a colleague on possible interactions of MSS and pain pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

great to see you here too

“What do you mean this is the human child’s carseat? “

depends on your kiddo but generally age 4 with some basic sets ( they have age 4 sets) if you can supervise and keep it always away from the younger. the age 4 sets tend to be a transition from duplo and chunkier pieces but still have the occasional small 1x1 or circular that fits up the nose
