My foot seems to do the opposite...gets cold & then starts hurting.
I did bring this up today. Pain psych wanted to see if self hypnosis would work so she had me take off my shoe & sock. She put a sensor on it...80 degrees. Didn't get any warmer with the self hypnosis at all but I probably need more practice on that.
It was a very difficult Week 4 (although PT says the eval week counts). I did not routinely do any of the PT exercises this past week as with all the emotion the week prior brought, in addition to sitting at a 9 pain level, I rested Sat/Sun. Monday I had an appointment & that was about all I could do. Tuesday was my daughters birthday and we went out to dinner, then to my parents for cake..in my mind, that counts. Wed I was home alone most of the day, so I tend to not gallivant around much when I'm alone. Well....Miss SmartyBritches PT says "If you're going to be non-compliant, I think you should just be discharged from the program". Have I mentioned that I can't stand her??? She tells MD that I am 100% non-compliant and wants me discharged. Ugh. I discussed lidoderm patches...doc decided to leave things as they are. I told OT that I have finally gotten my pain to a 6 and feel better going forward doing the home exercises but if I need one day of resting it, that needs to be acceptable.
I digress...I'm working on figuring out easy documentation for all activities as that is what the MD wants for next week.
