Default PT...i'm not doing well

my pain dr prescribed PT; the goal to strengthen my legs and increase my stamina.

to make a long story short i don't think i'm tolerating it. the PT aggravates my low back pain to the point that by the time i get home i can barely stand and get out of breath from the physical effort.

my gait is worse, my pain is worse, i'm sooo tired and almost need a day to recover. my good leg is my right leg which is so much weaker that i can barely get it into the car.

i've discussed all this with the therapist who has adjusted the routine and pulled back on what we do and how we do it.

i see the dr on fri and am about ready to tell her this is not working.
any thoughts?
thanks
