I was doing great. On Wednesday at PT I walked on a treadmill for 5 minutes, walked up and downstairs, balanced on foam while the PT tossed me a ball and I navigated the hospital corridors on crutches. I was so hopeful. About an hour later I was in agony and I have been hurting ever since.

I have no pain meds, other than neurontin, and I am trying my best to get through this, but I think I cannot do it without pain help.

Is a set back like this common? What do you recommend?
