The Physio Forum - Community Headlines

Dear forum members. Now that we have a more obvious section for Physio Blogs we are seeing more and more people use this section to post their questions. Many of these Blog posts would perhaps gain more interaction and more user views if posted in the Forum area of the site.

Blogs are really a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences, what they are up to. They are also used to reflect, share opinions, and discuss various topics in the form of an online journal while readers may comment. What's great about a Blog are is that you have a unique RSS feed and URL link to your blog page. This means you can link to it on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter as well as linking to it from your own website.

Forum Threads and Posts are more immediate questions about problems that require solutions or comments. Please consider which area of the site is best for the messages you are wanting to discuss.

Best regards, PhysioBob

My middle knuckle on one hand only has been hurting for months. Clean xray and clean MRI. Had one cortizone injection that did help but the pain came back...not sure if I aggravated it. No idea what caused the problem to begin with. I'm at a loss, as the Dr. says there's nothing he can do except give me a shot no more than twice a year. Pain is only with motion. It's stiff as heck in the morning, can barely make a fist, but loosens up quickly after I get up. Hurts to squeeze tightly, shake someones hand, and definitely cannot move the finger side to side. Moving the finger back toward the back of my hand doesn't hurt though. NSAIDS help only a little, but they tear my stomach up. Weird thing is that hot water makes it feel about 85% better instantly every time. Ice doesn't help much. Anybody have any clue what is wrong and what I can do to fix this? Seems like since the shot helped and hot water helps, it's a soft tissue thing, right? From what I've read on the web, tendonitis and nerve issues won't show on imaging studies. But I type for a living (IT) and it's my mouse hand. I can't stop using it.

Physiotherapy In India Is Really Pathetiqueeee... Nearly 90% Of The Physios Who Pass Out Are Involving Themselves In Bpo Jobs Which Gives More Money.

Truth Is That One Can Never Ever Imagine To Eke Out A Decent Living Out Of Physiotherapy Profession In India. This Is Basically Because Of Low Salaries, No Standardisation Of Salaries All Over The Country, No National Government Recognised Council.

Australia And America Are Leading The Growth Of This Profession By Introducing 'doctor Of Physical Therapy Program' Which Is Equivalent To Undergraduate Medical Course. As Usual India Is Lagging Behind In This Aspect Also.

I Would Like To Get Feedback From My Indian And International Collegues...
