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 ). 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!!!!
