Still sore? I'm surprised that I enjoyed my PT. She put me on a heated stretcher that pulled on my neck for 30m, ultrasound for 20m, and soft tissue massage for 10m. They want me to go 3 times a week and my copay is $30/visit. And, I have to take off time from work and make that up! Hope I don't need to go for long.

Sandy, Gary was able to get one of those portable neck stretchers to use at home. He is doing so well, he only used it a few times, but it really helped him!

Oh wow Sandy...it's sounds more of a spa treatment...lol. I would love to be put on a heated stretcher....sounds enjoyable since I have no idea what it is...
 I go again in the morning. I have to tell him I picked Mom up twice since my last time. Not sure how I'm gonna keep that from happening again. I'm looking forward to tomorrow therapy. I do know one thing, after the soft tissue massage he gave me.....I've got to go get a real massage at a spa. I still haven't been, but I've just got to. It felt so good.I don't hurt as bad as right after therapy, but today after the Mom passing out incident, the tech gave me a hug and again....thought I was going through the roof it hurt so bad.

Janet, be sure to tell the therapist about the hugging thing. That does not really sound like something muscular. If he will let you, show him the hug (by hugging him) and exactly where it hurts.

I don't like the sound of you hurting so bad from a hug. I agree with Gayle...talk to your PT about it.

I would have been embarrassed too! But, he seems to have pinpointed the reason! Try taking hot baths or lie on a heated wet towel.

Not sure about the 'hot' baths. He's been telling me to use cold and the wrap he used Friday felt so good.

It's true that cold is better for some injuries.

Do not take hot baths!!! No towels either!!
I'm 100% sure that your PT knows better than I do!

I just love ya Judy!!! I went to town this evening to visit with some classmates and now....I'm so sore from all the hugs I could just cry. Waiting on the pain pills to kick in. It's hard to tell someone you haven't see for awhile or don't see often not to hug me. I'm paying for it big time.

Awww! But you had a great time, and the pain pills will help with the pain.

I know you had a great time and you really needed to get out of the house and have some fun and laugh! I'm so happy for you. Yep, the pain from the hugs is well worth it!
