I like Dr. Pertchik also. I've been seeing him for 6 years. The PT who said I was exercise intolerant was in Little Silver. One exercise that she had me do was lie on my back on a foam roller, extend my arms out and up and stretch a theraband. She asked me how it felt and I told her that my hands were feeling tingly and numb and heavy. She then looked at my hands and said that they were turning colors and that I should stop the exercise (not that I wanted to do it in the first place).

I used to sleep with my arms over my head also. I would use the sashes from bathrobes to tie my arms down. My boyfriend thought I was nuts doing that.

Hope your husband's recovery goes well. My boyfriend may have to have shoulder surgery soon.

We are neighbors. I lived in Tinton Falls until 2004 when we made the big move to Shrewsbury Borough.
