Patient discussion about injured.

Q. My 21 year son has chronic sinus issues, I think, due to many high school sports injuries. Help! His ENT has recommended a "nose job" but our insurance will not cover it. Do you know of any holostic, nutritional or homeopathic solutions to keep this under control? When he gets a headache, it shuts him down and normally goes into a migraine.

A. Knows nothing about holystic treatment, but when I think about it, won't it be better to treat it definitely (more or less, I don't really know the situation) than postponing it with intermediate treatment? Have your tried to consult your docotr about that?

Q. My wife have pain & sorness in her left arm.It just happened one morning. she did not have any fall or inj When she had the pain or soreness, she find difficulty in lifting her arm. Some times, the pain goes off by itself. When I give her massage on her left upper back and neck,she will feel more comfortable and experienced less pain

A. My sister-in-law has the same problem. She tried a chiropractor and that provided temporary relief. Now she is in the process of taking a series of three epidural shots. This may be an option.
