Well, a week and a half into PT and things seem to be better. Ironically, I'd been doing better for a few weeks before starting PT. Like taking your car to the mechanic, right? You can have all kinds of trouble but when you're finally there to get it fixed, no problems! I still get some leg pain off and on but it hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it had been. Hardly any tingling. My therapist has me doing side glides plus some extensions. I'm doing them religiously.
Basically, I'm encouraged. It's kind of wierd getting an MRI which shows a big herniation and all of a sudden I start feeling better - THEN I start therapy. When I first started the side glides some of the movements did cause some pain in my leg - then it started getting better as we adjusted the exercises. It's hard to understand and know what to expect, but my PT says to keep at it. I'm certainly not complaining - I'm GLAD to feel better! Putting my mind around this one sure is hard, though.
Cause I'd love to go for a run right now! (But I won't!)
