Advice & Tips
PT is definitely worth a try. It DID help a little in building my endurance & strength and decreased my level of pain slightly. I still have the exercises at home to do to keep up my progress. I can also sign up for the "after care program" which means I can come and use their gym for awhile a few times a week. It costs $30.00/month.

Advice & Tips
PT actually does help in building up weakened muscles, especially in my legs. I am very sore after I leave, though. It works itself out after a hour or so at home. I'm trying to build up strength & endurance for when I have surgery on my back, hopefully the postop course won't hurt

If it tires you stop. Do only light, non resistant exercise. If it tires your muscle or causes pain tell them immediatly. Pain is not gain it is loss of function.

Advice & Tips
I have a shoulder problem since injury at home 6/8/2009, that seemed to get much better with time so i thought some therapy, electrical, heat, stretching, would help. It made it much worse. I checked today with my neurologist and I am sceduling a dual MRI for shoulder and brain on April 22, 2010 to check for leisions and check the shoulder. I am trying to confirm "Exaxerbation" related to my disability with MS or fix and repair to reduce pain. A bit more to the story with my lower back surgery on Nov. 2, 2009 when my two year old rebif failed due to immunity and I began the exaserbation of extreme degeneration until March 18, 2010 since I stared Amprya. I do not trust the copaxone but am sticking with it until the MRI. (I had a brain MRI with indicator Jan. 20 and had 8 leisions.) If this is growing in numbers or size I will switch to Tysabria. That is it.
