[QUOTE=Jo*mar;1139373]I'm confused, how did a lumbar machine affect your c spine? was it set up incorrectly or did they not supervise your postures while using the machine?

###### It was set up correctly and I was supervised. My entire lower body was immobilized. They had a MedX cervical machine I didn't use which protects the neck. My PT went over the cervical MRI results and said they were not bad. I had no symptoms so it didn't seem bad.

Why were they having you use the lumbar machine if you had no lumbar issues?
For basic core fitness?

####### I was referred by my PCP, and waited 5 months, for ruptured lumbar discs and arachnoiditis. This was a supposed top notch neurosurgeon. I was never referred for surgery or narcotics

Overall- my motto has become - if PT is hurting or making you feel worse- stop it right away - do not continue even if they pressure you to do so..[/QUOTE

###### Yes, I already feel quite stupid
