Now that I am officially a member of the club I thought I'd post. I had my first PT session today. The therapist had seen my Xrays, and seemed very knowledgeable about what happened. She asked a lot of questions about what hurts, when, etc. Honestly, the WORST thing is taking a sports bra on and off, and I told her that. Sure it hurts other times, but this is one thing I still have a VERY hard time doing alone.
She was very nice, and gave me some basic stabilizing and strengthening exercises to do at least once a day, more if possible. These should generally help my posture as well.
I think my ROM is basically ok, but then she had me raise both arms straight in front of me and the made me look at myself, and the left elbow was totally out of alignment, trying to compensate for the loss of strength. It was just all off balance, which was funny. I think she said something about "winging". She also said it's very swollen back there and i should ice. I hate ice.It's cold!
Anyway, I will go once a week for the next month. I have a short ride set up for Saturday. I will see how it feels.



It's cold!
