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.
