Dear MendMeShop,

For over six months, I suffered from bursitis of the left hip. Nothing seemed to help. If anything, it was getting worse. Finally, my doctor gave me a prescription to see a physical therapist. A week before my first appointment I started using the hand held ultrasond that I received from MendMeShop. I started feeling relief. I was thrilled, and mentioned it to my therapist when I went for my first session. She said I was the third patient of hers that had purchased the ultrasound. She was getting good feedback, and asked if I would bring it in to show her. When I did, she was impressed. She also said the gel used with it, is the same high quality used in their clinic. I went ahead with a brief series of therapy treatments. I was discharged with some exercises, and told to continue to ice and use the hand held ultrasound on my hip. I have done that and I now feel that, between the icing and the ultrasound, my bursitis is being kept at bay! Another interesting thing I would like to share. I have a life long neck problem. I had a serious fall as a child, and as a result the first vertebre in my neck (the atlas) often becomes dislodged. When this happens, I become spacey and depressed and barely able to function until I can get to my upper cervical specialist in Chicago. Recently, while in Florida, I began to get the usual negative symptoms of my neck being out of allignment. I panicked. I couldn't fly back to Chicago for a treatment. I was terrified I would be miserable and my trip ruined. Out of desperation I used the ultrasound (on the low setting) on my neck. It felt wonderful, and the negative symptions subsided. I am still in Florida and doing fine. Very anxious to share this with my doctor in Chicago when I return.
