If your insurance pays for physical therapy, why not go to the physical therapy place, explain EXACTLY what is happening when you exercise, then they can devise a therapy plan geared just FOR YOU!!!

They should be the experts, so they should have a fairly good idea how much you can do and how much you SHOULD DO!!!

Kind of like when Alan had to go to Cardiac Rehab after his stent. They knew what he was capable, and how far to push him.

This way, you talk to the therapy experts before you just go and do the machines. They'll tell you, "you should do this, it won't be taxing on your legs, etc. etc"

Wishing you luck.
