Back from PT: Owie, Owie, Owie

I'm snuggling on my couch. I went for my usual PT session already hurting. I'd had a rough night as I related in my last posting. I just want to relate my PT session here...deep breath...no pity party. It started with the usual heat pads, lumbar and neck. I took the sheet offered as it was so comforting. I had my deep tissue massage, focusing on the left side of my body. Then my therapist came in to finish the job. I knew we were doing this but never know quite what to expect. He ran his hand along my hip and lower spine, focusing on the center of my spine and the SI Joint. He dug in deep to the spine and vertebrae, telling me afterwards his approach was akin to having a trigger point injection and I would be sore for a while after it. No kidding! I cried for the first third of my pool therapy; which is usually soothing. The pain lessened as I completed the pool therapy. Praise God!! It was over...until the next time. I booked three sessions for next week. You'd think I'd know better. LOL. I'm trying here folks. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. I'm not taking any other medications as instructed. The pain I have isn't normal, I know that but I'm no physician. I called my patient advocate to see if I can talk to a PA but the surgeon and his PA are in surgery, which was running overtime and my doc is heading out of town for surgery this weekend. I can call Monday if I'm worse or experiencing severe pain to book an appointment for Thursday. Not ideal but I'll take it if I need it. In the meantime, I'll keep on doing what I do...try to find holistic ways to manage my condition and praise God when I am pain free.
