Hi Ali. I hope you don't mind me intruding here when I have no business to do so, but your title caught my attention.

My DH has a chronic back problem and he went to PT in an effort to ease his pain. Not only did the physio make him worse, but it started a whole heap of of new problems for him.

The physio sent him to a heated physio pool for aerobatic exercises, but the water was far too warm for the VERY large amount of Chlorine they'd added to the pool, and he had a major allergic skin reaction. His skin was actually burnt as well as the allergic reaction.

His back pain was much worse after the physio, and he still suffers from a severe dermatitis caused by that pool. DH is very much against physios these days, and I can't blame him.

I was wondering how you were Ali. I hope your Christmas was OK considering the heart pain you must have been suffering. Sending you love from across the Pacific Ocean .....
