Guest guest Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Byron You're so incredibly lucky! I spent OVER EIGHT MONTHS in physical therapy for my back pain because they promised me that it would help. I endured three sessions a week because I was told that a " little " pain now would help me to be painfree later. After eight months, I was asking my doctor about it and she told me that she would keep ordering the physical therapy for another month or two, but told me that it wasn't likely to help, since I tried it for so long and gotten no results, but I wanted to believe the promises that had been made so much. I wanted to believe that I could be healed*.* Steve M in PA At first I didn't think PT was helping me and some of it hurt! (A bit, and sore afterwards) But they watched me closely and listened to my feed back and I've really been seeing and feeling some consequences. Even my overall pain level seems to be lower. I still have my days though! Slow but sure! Good luck to you. Peace and Love, Byron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Steve, Because of this group, I was made aware of 'The Harms Done By GET and CBT'. I had used this group before and was well pleased and got along great afterwards until Sjögren's hit me. So I went into it this time well aware to be wary and I let them know that I had read these articles and was concerned and they have been very responsive to my needs. All my muscles, skin, joints hurt, I am weak and have no stamina. If I speak, they listen and drop the exercise or modify the approach and they are actually quite intuitive. Walking is the one thing that would probably help my back the most, but the dryness, weakness, sun sensitivity, Etc, have really cramped my style. Plus I'm too 'whatever' to even use the treadmill right here in my living room, facing my HD TV, like being out doors! When I was hiking for my health, my partner would be getting tired and start saying 'this is far enough, let's rest and turn around and head back' and I'd be the one to say 'let's just check around that next bend up there!' I went through several types of pain clinic epidurals until they got to the 36 injection Trigger Points part and I told my neurologist that if the other three methods hadn't helped, I sure didn't see any reason to go with that! And he agreed. If you reach the point where you might find a willing mind to give therapy another try, I'm sure you'll look around and find one that might be truly helpful. I really just want to give up and have a Demerol pump installed, but they keep telling me they won't do that. Thanks for speaking up.
