oh my ...exercise...how I wish I could. I want to stretch and do something active but can't and it's so darn frustrating. I feel like such a couch potato! I'm so happy that I can actually sit and type at the moment...I'm feeling a tad better.
My Dr told me that I couldn't do anu stretching or exercise until the muscles were relaxed ...I have "severely abnormal tight muscles" as the Dr put it. The neurologist and ortho both want me to have PT but said I can't or I will end up worse.
Do you know of any good ways to at least stretch without the risk of doing damage? I guess maybe I should just wait it out but I'm going nuts. I tried one of those massagers and THAT HURT! I didn't like that at all. It actually stung.
I'm interested to see what other's do in therapy and how long does it take to start getting better. I'm going on my 3rd nerve block this week (Thurs). My pain scale on a 1- 10 is now at a 9...2 weeks ago it was a 15! lol
I hope the rest of you are doing well. Take care
