PT hurts!

reporting back after my first Physical Therapy appointment .... and man, did that HUUUURRRRRRRRRTTTTT!!!!

i know i have to be good about going ... and i know what a difference it will make in my recovery (short term and long term too) ... but that doesn't make it any more fun.

the good news is that my range of motion 1 1/2 weeks after surgery was better than they would have expected it to be.

i am so achy right now, gonna go lay down with a big ziploc bag of ice cubes on my shoulder

Awwww sorry to hear your in pain but YIPPEE on the great news of your range of motion .

Wow that is good about your range in motion. Sorry to hear that it is hurting you. Hope you have a speedy recovery and PT will get better with time.

Awwwwww Jess, PT definitely hurts but it's SOOOO worth it in the end! My dr. had me start PT 3 days - yes 3 DAYS - after my surgery. The first couple of weeks they went very easy on me, but the last 2 weeks the dr. told the phys. therapists to be more agressive because my range of motion was not where he wanted it to be. Well, let me tell you, it's been much more painful but it has made a HUGE difference! Seriously, I can actually move my arm around (very limited, but before I couldn't do ANYTHING). So it's worth it - you will be better before you know it!!!

Sorry to hear it hurts but SO happy to hear that you are doing better then expected!!!!

OMG, I remember that pain!!!!!!!!!!

OUCH!!

It will get easier from here on in, so that's good news. I hope you feel better!!!!

Sorry to hear they are abusing you, but that's their job...and in the end the end it will make you better...just accidentally have a 'spasm' and hit 'em back if it'll make ya feel better Glad to hear things are better than they thought!
