Dear MendMeShop,

In the fall I tore my right rotator cuff, both shoulders had been feeling stiff and sore. Began anti-inflammatory drug and PT. Began feeling a little better then left shoulder "froze" and began another round of drug and PT for both shoulders. I was fed up and started my own research for frozen shoulder and found the MENDMESHOP. I called with several questions and purchased the Ultrasound Therapy System and extra gel. I was in so much pain I paid for expedited delivery. I received my unit and began using it. I felt better after the first treatment not cured but alot BETTER. By using your system it has greatly reduced my pain and help "break loose" my shoulders. I was greatly impressed!!! I just saw my Orthopedic doctor on Friday he was happy with my progress and said I didn't need any formal PT sessions, but continue stretching and strengthening at home. I told him about the MENDMESHOP's at home ultrasound system and suggested they sell them at their PT clinic. HE and the resident immediately looked up your website and were impressed. I've told my fellow shoulder sufferers at PT about your system. Thanks eversomuch for such a wonderful product and such great service!!

Treating Groin Pulls

Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important to prevent groin pulls from becoming chronic and potentially life-limiting; it doesn't take much to change a grade 1 pull into a grade 2 pull. Injuries to the muscle belly are best managed with adherence to the conservative treatment methods, which includes modifying and/or eliminating the activities that cause tenderness or discomfort in your groin area, and performing gentle strengthening and stretching once initial inflammation has gone down.

scar tissue forming

Scar tissue can often develop with groin pulls or strains, where your soft tissue has pulled away from the bone. As your damaged groin tissues heal this dead, fibrotic tissue will be produced instead of forming brand new healthy tissue. This tissue adheres to your muscle fibers, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, and joints causing pain and preventing them from moving properly (this limits your range of motion, flexibility and strength). Injuries to the groin muscle-tendon attachments often requires more conservative management until you are pain free.

Patience is required with groin pulls, as they can take time to return to your normal state. Return to your activities too early can lead to chronic pain, which becomes much more difficult to treat. If your symptoms last for more than 6 weeks after trying conservative treatments, you will often be examined for other groin injuries such as tendinitis, stress fractures, osteitis pubis and/or groin disruptions.

Success Stories

Grade 1 groin pulls tend to take between 2-4 weeks, Grade 2 groin pulls between 1-2 months and Grade 3 groin pulls approximately 3 months. However, it is really dependent on whether you have an acute pull (4-8 weeks) or a chronic pull (can take up to 6 months), how long you've had the symptoms, and your commitment to proper rehabilitation. A good reference point for healing is once you've regained approximately 70% of your pre-injury strength, have full range of motion and are pain free, you can return to your normal activities.

Dear MendMeShop,

In February of this year, I injured my knee while exercising. Since I lost my health benefits through my job due to the economy, I wasn’t able to afford a professional diagnosis. The outside area of my left knee was swollen, stiff and painful and I could not put any weight on that area. After mowing my lawn, gardening, exercising or any other physical activity the swelling, stiffness and pain were much worse. I was using a bag of frozen crinkle cut carrots attached by a rubber band around my knee to help alleviate the pain & swelling – not a very high tech solution! I searched online to find what if anything I could do myself to rehab and repair my injury and thankfully I found your web site. From the information your site provided, I determined I had a torn meniscus as the symptoms associated with that were exactly what I was experiencing. I ordered the Platinum Knee Therapy Kit, received it in less than one week and began using the kit immediately. It has now been 7 days since I started using the kit and I have already noticed results. My swelling has gone down, the pain is gone and the stiffness is occasional instead of constant. I am so delighted with these results as I am very active and this knee problem was really affecting my lifestyle. Not only that, but I was looking forward to doing a lot of surfing this summer and I am excited as I believe I will be able to without any problems! I can’t thank you enough for your very informative web site and your wonderful products. Another bonus of having the Platinum Knee Therapy Kit is the Ultrasound can be used on other parts of the body and I will own this kit forever. Hopefully I won’t have to use it on any other part of my body but if I do I sure have some valuable peace of mind knowing how well and how quickly this has worked for me. The convenience of using this kit at home versus the high cost of doctor appointments and the inconvenience of traveling to the doctor’s office is fantastic! I will be telling everyone about your web site and products and that is saying a lot because it is rare and refreshing for me to find products that work so well. I’m obviously rating this 5 out of 5 stars!
