Therapy actually feels good; it includes Ultrasound, hydromassage, heat packs, parafin, and exercises.
But I have an hour drive each way. My shoulders are frozen, and my right hurt before I started. I beleieve it is worse now. It may be the drive. I don't know if I should stop therapy or continue. Anybody have therapy put them in more pain? |

1. find a closer therapist, and have the doctor certify it's necessary or the therapy won't work. sometimes the far therapist will help you out with this.
2. if 1. is not an option or is not happening quickly, drive a half or a third of the way, get out, stretch, rest, get back in, drive another third or half. bring an ice chest with the gooey ice patches to use on your rests. the ones filled with gel. |

Oh yes.
driving that far will undo any good that helped you.  when i was still working they had me going to PT then returning to work - the work canceled out any good that the PT did!It finally made some headway when I was off work - and only had to drive 20 min on a main hwy to get to PT.

go to therapy, turn around & work a day. Defeats the purpose. Then they had me take a codiene at work(?) . So, not only was the PT defeated, the wrong PT, & was drugged at work & driving home. How dimb was that as I look back 10 years ago.
