Thanks for the responses!

I had PT tonight and I asked the therapist if we could try the stim without the ice. She said sure and I felt like it was a lot better. I never liked the ice but I sort of jsut figured it was one of those things that was the "right" thing to do since they never asked me about not having it. I have such a hard time asking questions and standing up for myself with people who are in charge of my care. I am just a really shy person when I am anywhere outside of the workplace (where I am a manager and obviously have to be more outgoing)...like I want to crawl inside a shell and hide from people. But I will have to find my voice, won't I? Anyway, no ice today and I felt like the effects of the stim lasted a lot longer and I didn't have to deal with the pain from the ice.

Thanks again!
