I never thought about interviewing a PT'er before going, that's not a bad idea. I'm telling ya, my neuro certainly doesn't have a soft touch. He was asking me about my neck and shoulders and, of course, had to feel of them both. He pressed his fingers so hard into my shoulders that I had a fire all day yesterday, in both of them, that hasn't happened in months. I'm pretty sure he could never do PT!

This is very true and it seems I have had to be the lion tamer with this doc more than once! First, he refused to believe I have celiac disease, which I finally cleared the air with him by saying, "It doesn't matter if I am or not, I am gluten free and will be for the rest of my life, lets move on!" Then, after all the testing he did, he actually had a difficult time admitting I do have small fiber neuropathy--I'm not sure if it was because my PCP had already diagnosed it, or what his problem was! I already mentioned taming the lion this time. I actually like this doc too! Amazing huh?

Hi the doc I saw said if I didn't want to take bath for the lower half fill a garbage can up with epsom salt water and soak that may help you. Also as for pt I know the pt is suppose to touch and stretch you but for me that was not ok cause I also have something similar to rsd and that is not to stretch by someone. So if I did pt again it would be more of a direction thing like at cleveland. I will say I feel pressure to finish even if not able and even at cc they said I pushed too much but I was told to when I wanted to get out of the pool they said stay so I don't know.Good luck.
