Yes as you can see I am up in the middle of the night again. Lovely huh?
Anyway, I went to PT today and again I left in as much pain as when I went in. Now that I am awake I realized that they put me in more pain.
I will explain my appointment. I went in and they asked where I was hurting. So I got some dry heat and was asked to do streches. No big deal, I thought I would get a little massage as I normally would after the streching. Nope...I thought wrong. I was made to do exercises that aggrivated my SI joint (after being told to NOT do stuff like that in my last appointment
![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
). Well then, here comes the doozy. She wants me to sit and then lay back on this hard cylindrical piece of foam for a new strech. The moment I sat down on it, I had pain shoot up from my tailbone and told her so. She insisted that I lay back on the foam round thing and the pain moved up to my waist. I didn't even lay down. I told her that was it, it hurt too much to even try. This is why I am up now....great appointment huh? Well it gets better!
As I leave my PT appointment, my physiatrist, who my PT works under asks me if I am still hesitant about the SI joint facet injection. I said yes and that I wanted to talk to my pain doc who has done all of my epidurals, facet injections, etc. before I decided to do it. He also wanted me to try another session of acupucture and I told him no.
So now after 2 months of PT (which only helps a little) and now feeling pressured into getting more acupuncture and into getting the SI facet injection how do I fire my PT and physiatrist? Okay the uncomfortable part, they work out of my pain doc's office, so I would still physically see them when I go to my pain doc appointments. So I want to be nice about it but firm.
HELP!!!!
