hi paulette
yes i started pt arround 6 1/2 weeks and it has been reg type pt. but i saw a major diff after the first visit as my legs forgot there job. and hurt big time. but as of now they are alot better still hurt but more under control. thank god.
i am 8 1/2 weeks postop still doing pt only problem i still have is my legs aka distraction pain which dr. b told me i would have alot of. as i was starting to fuse at the level adr was to be done at. and i grew a full inch so needless to say my legs are really yelling at me lol
but is inproving and i hope to return to work 10/23 just under
the 12 week mark.
i still wake up with my legs feeling like i slept on them all night.
at first that feeling would last 4 hrs. and now it lasts abot 1 hr.
so i am in proving day by day and the roller coaster type recovery has calmed alot. again thank god
thanks for asking.
chuck
