It's summer now, so I'm gonna try the pool as often as I can. I was going to pt for my foot and back, but it was a 45 min drive. I'm hoping the pool will help with all that. Do you happen to know much about photobia?
I don't k ow much about photophobia, but I can tell you hot sun brings the pain all the way up to my shoulder. I am a redhead and the sun already is not a friend to my skin but since this started, soending too much time bare skinned in that arm is very painful.
I recently started massage and it's taken a bit to not have that overwhelming nerve response to touch calm down enough to allow it. Now I enjoy it. (But one stelate ganglion block really helped that for the first one, now it's wearing off) I also use my horse to rub my arm on for desensitizing in a way that also brings me great joy and positive feedback and it's very helpful. Do you have a pet that you may be able to pet with your foot when you are in a time you are feeling peaceful and relaxed?
