The PT I had started immediately after surgery in Oct, but my ortho put a halt to that when I was still in pain. He put me back on Prednisone for a month and told me to not do anything for a week, and then start PT again 3x a week. When that did nothing, he told me that the PT was aggravating it, to let the inflammation "burn itself out" and take Aleve 2x a day. I go back to see him in 2 weeks but nothing is different. If anything, the nights are worse and I didn't think that was possible.
My point is, sometimes drs take you off PT if it's not helping. It would take me days to stop reeling from pain after certain ways they stretched my arm. Now I do pulleys and pendulum swings at home, but that's it. I'm at a loss for what is the answer. I feel like he doesn't know what is wrong and we are stabbing at ideas. I'm actually hoping for a cortisone shot, or like you said, lopping the arm off!!View Thread
