- Agreed! Sorry I forgot to mention pin-firing by name in my
- article, I implied that it was of no use but without the crucial word
- there was a chance that someone might miss the connection. So to state
- it directly -- pin-firing and blistering are of no therapeutic value
- in treating bowed tendons. More can be done with a little rest, ice,
- and early physical therapy.
- Thanks, Steve!
