I am happy to report that I can't say anything bad about my PT! She used to be a racer and she knows what she's doing. Basically my neck and entire upper left side is imbalanced, tight, and hurting. She spent 20 minutes taking my history and then poked around and asked what hurt. She did a lot of massage, gave me 3-4 exercises to do, and I had a heat/electrical stim. treatment on my neck. She said I'll come once a week for a couple of weeks and then every other week, since I think she realizes I'm motivated to do the stuff at home.
She said I should be doing only easier exercise so I am ready for the season. Well, I'll cut out the yoga and weights, but not the cycling indoors or out. I will tone it down, though.
I went back to work today; the teacher I am replacing had her baby early. Actually, I went in after school to get ready for tomorrow. Thankfully, we have winter break next week, so I can go easy on the kids tomorrow and start for real on the 25th. I don't think I'll be able to do any of the exercises at school, so I guess repeating them 3-5 times at night will have to do. Also, I mentioned that I have some other issues besides what is on the scrip, but I knew she couldn't treat those. She said, not to worry, she can still help as we move through the treatment. The scrip is actually quite general, as I think the doctor knew I've had a lot of stuff for years. In fact, I really think this has been my problem all along and I really don't have fibromyalgia. I will keep you posted.
