My no lifting, bending, etc restrictions are almost over and I am looking forward to a little more normalcy in terms of being able to take my daughter to daycare and pick her up from daycare. The DRG is still working very well. Just the one small flare up a couple weeks ago and it was still better than my baseline used to be before the DRG. This morning my legs are feeling a little sore from all the laps I've been doing in my dining room...lol...but that's a good soreness as far as I'm concerned. I'm still not sleeping very well because of my upper body pain...but that's just par for the course i guess. Overall I feel like I am doing great.
Its good to hear that things are going well for you. I think that PT will be REALLY good for you, not just for your body, but also for your psychological/emotional state. You will become part of the healing process and I think that is empowering .

Its good that you are up and moving .... bad that you are not sleeping, there's nothing like a good night's sleep and helps the body heal. May the Goddess of sleep visit you soon . lol

Fingers crossed that soon you will be able to have a "little more normalcy " in your life ....

All the best to you.

PS Thank you for sharing your experience with DRG .
