FSM displayed last week at the American Osteopathic Association meeting and had a great time talking to people about the seminars. I had the pleasure of treating a veyr nice DO who had open heart surgery 10 weeks before. We had a nice time comparing bypass stories and then he mentioned that he still had the nerve traction injuries and chest wall pain that come with that surgery. Thoracic nerves get tractioned when they open the chest - and he got shingles a few weeks after the surgery  so to add insult to injury he had some PHN symptoms contributing to his chest wall pain. He sat down when I said we should be able to fix that - the chest wall pain was gone in about 15 minutes. (Nerve traction injuries are easy but who would believe it until you do show and tell!) As he sat he mentioned that three fingers were still numb from the brachial plexus traction injury - radial nerve - so he blistered them when he took a bowl out of the microwave. I wrapped the red leads glove around his neck and put the other glove in his hand and warned him that when the nerve progresses from numb towards normal it would get hypersensitive but that was expected. The fingers became hypersensitive in about 12 minutes and we sat and visited for the next 40 minutes as they finished thier recovery. I finally got tired of waiting for the nerve and the brain to communicate and tried using the frequency to increase secretions in the sensory cortex and that seemed to finish it up. He had normal sensation in the fingers when we were done. It’s the most fun anyone could have. We met lots of fascinating people at the AOA - you know who you are! Look forward to seeing you at a seminar soon. Dr. C
