Erin, I'm sure they'll give you more PT if your doctor is good at listing reasons why you need more...I was told when I was in PT for my knee replacement this winter that I only had 19 appointments YEARLY for PT. I'd gone through about 11 since January, and need to have my other knee done, I hope this fall. What will happen is that Medicare will audit the PT place and see if I warrant further PT. It doesn't matter that it's a different part of the body:roll eyes:

So I hope that you can get some additional PT. I also wonder if you aren't experiencing the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Your explanation of the pain you're experiencing sounds like mine. It feels like someone is running their long fingernails through my muscle fibers. It 's very different from the pain I get from spasticity. It also is exacerbated by lack of deep sleep.

And as for heroes, there are many here who've helped me with info and support over the past years...I wouldn't have been able to deal with all I had on my plate if it weren't for all of my NT Friends
