Advice & Tips
I grit my teeth and bare the pain because the Therapist keeps telling me doing nothing just makes the pain worst. Today was a bad therapy day because I left there barely able to walk. I got home and took all my medicines and put a heating pad on my neck, right shoulder, and lower back. I want to live a normal life so I am trying to hang in there with the Therapist. No one can tell me how long it's going to take before I stop hurting.

Advice & Tips
the physical therapy helped with my neck and should pain, but when the Therapist manipulated my neck muscles the pain moved more into my lumbar. Each time the treatment was over, I needed help getting up off the table due to the severe pain in my lumbar and hip. I could barely walk the first two times after the manipulation of my neck muscles. I did not expect the therapy to help me at all, but I did notice more mobility in the move of my neck, and it helped my neck pain go from severe to moderate. If I could afford to continue the treatment I would. I did receive the treatment twice a week for 5 weeks. OWCP was paying the difference, and I am planning to talk with my Rheumatologist and determine if I should go back for more physical therapy. Due to my depression I rarely leave the house except for Doctor appointments, and the physical therapy. So, another unexpected positive was getting out of the house and interacting with people again.
