Physical Therapy- I have been going since September! We have been going at the problem like it's a disc that had slipped. Today, my therapist was working with me and she tried something new! It sure did tweak my hip/back pain and now I have a new exercise. We are now working toward relief of nerve pain. It's not quite sciatica, but we think there is a nerve out of line in my back and hip. I have to do my new exercise four times a day for 4-6 weeks! I just made myself a check list to make sure I check it off everyday. I hadn't been super motivated before because I hadn't seen any results from any other exercises they gave me. So I would do the work for about four or five days and then quit. I am really hoping that since I really notice the work that I'm doing this time, maybe I can stick with the program.
I'm supposed to keep exercising, lifting Kai, and doing all my normal chores (can't I get out of those?). I did tell my therapist that it is on my list of goals to have this figured out by my 30th birthday (July 25th) so she does have a deadline. She laughed. She did tell me however, to not stress too much about getting pregnant (which is always something in the back of my mind, we are waiting a few years, but you never know people!) Also, she said to try not to think about my future with back pain like the expense of an MRI, shots in my back, and or surgery. My problems are not to the point that she is super worried about me. I guess that is easy for her to say, but it at least made me feel a little better for now.
