Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Well gang, I just got back from the Rheumy's. Good and bad news. Of course I always come out of there in more pain than when I go in....he insists on yanking at every joint in my body and then bangs on my spine.... I swear he doesn't listen to me when I tell him not to touch a certain joint! Why do drs insist on twisting us like Gumby dolls???!!! I am FINALLY getting a handicap sticker for the car!!!!!! I guess he thinks my bones are now bad enough..... He did ask how I was getting along with the walker.... Great of course! Well to me it is great! It has given me freedom I haven't had for a while. I still can't go out for long periods, but I do get out and if I hurt too much I can rest on the seat of it. We discussed my treadmill. I am very disappointed with the lenghth of time and speed I can do. Still only 5-10 minutes at 1 mile an hour. He said that is ok and to keep it up. I probably won't be able to get better at it, but at least I am doing it. He said the main point is that I do it. Bad news.... I have to go for PT for my neck. It has gotten so I can barely move it especially when it is in a flare.... 3 times a week!!! I hate PT!!!!! Been there, done that and I don't like it one bit! I know it will help, but I still hate it! You know I still think a person must be mentally derranged for wanting PT and even crazier for going! I guess I am only half crazy because I don't want to go but I will. LOL Took some pain killers and going to rest til they kick in. Hugs to all in Ct.
